[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

Li Dongyang didn't agree with the idea of ​​Emperor Zhengde's southern tour at the beginning, even after he himself became a member of the southern tour, he thought so even more.

including now.

Li Dongyang looked at Emperor Zhengde who was walking on the board, and said to Jiao Shizhi who was also in the cabin: "The emperor is so wanton, why doesn't Mr. Jiao stop you?"

Li Dongyang was not familiar with Jiao Shizhi. Among these cabinet veterans, only the Chief Assistant Liu Jian had more communication with him and had a good impression of him.For Li Dongyang, the biggest impression Jiao Shizhi gave him was his influence on the emperor.

It cannot be said that the elders have grown up with the prince since he was a child, but they have almost witnessed his changes from childhood to youth, from youth to youth.They couldn't say they were very satisfied with this king who had ascended the throne from a young age and came to the present step by step, but they couldn't be regarded as very dissatisfied either.

At least this one is still able to do things.

However, the only problem, and the biggest problem, is Emperor Zhengde's character.To put it bluntly, if it wasn't because Emperor Zhengde was the emperor, there would always be ministers who couldn't help but fuck him up.Li Dongyang couldn't do anything, but he could watch silently from the side.

This is enough to prove how "brilliant" this person's character is!

Jiao Shizhi was a rare person who was able to pull Emperor Zhengde back when he fell into a rampage.Even Liu Jin, who was once favored by the emperor, could not do this.

That's right, just as Zhu Houzhao expected, because he has been sticking to Shizhi's behavior, everyone thought that the emperor just relied heavily on Jiao Shizhi, but when it comes to favoring him, he is not as good as Liu Jin.

After all, Liu Jin was wealthy at the time, and Jiao Shizhi was so poor that he didn't even have his own house.Of course, after Emperor Zhengde learned his lesson, except for the first month's reward, everything he could think of was given to him while he was in the mood, and he was extremely generous.But every time he would bring along several important ministers, causing them to face Jiao Shizhi's unusual reward, and they could only blow their beards and stare, without anything to say.

Far away, what Li Dongyang meant was, since Jiao Shizhi could persuade him, why didn't he stop the emperor from such a seemingly absurd behavior?Even though he now admits the importance of visiting the people everywhere, he doesn't think it is necessary for the emperor to take risks and do it himself.You know, only half a year has passed since the previous turmoil.

When Jiao Shi heard Li Dongyang's question at the beginning, he was sitting by the window pouring tea.Through a thin layer of window screens, the filtered light falls on the table, and then falls into the green tea liquid, reflecting a beautiful light.He picked up the freshly brewed tea, placed a cup in front of Li Dongyang, and picked up one by himself.

The quiet scent of tea wafted through the room, dissipating the impetuous atmosphere of the afternoon. Jiao Shizhi took a sip of sweet tea, feeling the slightly bitter mellow aroma, which seemed to be his state of mind at this time.

"Old Li Ge, what kind of person do you think the emperor is?" Jiao Shizhi looked at Li Dongyang who was sipping tea slowly, and asked with a light smile.

Li Dongyang frowned slightly, knowing that Jiao Shizhi was not a casual person, he said seriously: "The emperor is gradually getting rid of immaturity, although his methods are biased, he often achieves amazing results. In terms of courage, the late emperor is not as good as him."

He was so straightforward that he compared the first emperor with Emperor Zhengde.

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips and smiled, Li Dongyang is a very strange person.Jiao Shizhi didn't have much contact with him, and most of his understanding was from what others said and what he saw in his foresight.From it, he could only know one thing. To a certain extent, Li Dongyang could be regarded as a clean and honest official. Even though he had seen bad comments in his foresight, Jiao Shizhi still thought so.

There are not many officials that Zhu Houzhao likes.

"But..." Li Dongyang took a sip of his tea, seemingly unsatisfied, "The emperor's personality is changeable, loose and free, and most of the things he does are based on his own thoughts. If you can't stop it more, one day the emperor will do what you want." , It will be shocking and difficult to stop. In order not to happen, we can only be cautious."

Jiao Shizhi, who lowered his eyebrows, could no longer agree with Li Dongyang's words. However, there was only one difference between Jiao Shizhi and Li Dongyang. compromise.

"My lord, what the emperor does depends on his influence on the court and society. The emperor has a noble status, and it is indeed dangerous to go out on a southern tour, but there are some things that can not be done just because of the danger. Soldiers can fight on the battlefield , why can't the emperor leave the palace?" Jiao Shizhi said gently.

Li Dongyang shook his head, his handsome face was full of sadness, "How can the southern patrol compare with the battlefield? It is his own responsibility to fight the enemy, and there is nothing wrong with it. The emperor's dragon body is noble, and if there is a slight difference, it will be a disaster for the country." .”

Jiao Shizhi nodded and replied: "Your Excellency's words are reasonable." Not to mention that Emperor Zhengde didn't even have a brother around him, and he never married a wife. If it was true... then it would really be a disaster for the world.

"You know everything, so why do you act like this?" Li Dongyang was puzzled. In his opinion, these things don't need to be explained, Jiao Shizhi should be very clear in his heart.

Jiao Shizhi tilted his head and looked out the window. Since they left Zhengzhou, they walked all the way on the water, and they spent time on the sparkling water.Many people were very interested in the great rivers that they had never been in contact with at first, but after a long time, they became indifferent.However, no matter how many times, as long as he sees the water surface shining with broken light under the sun, Jiao Shizhi always feels that the picture is extremely beautiful.

Such a majestic scenery of rivers and rivers is under the rule of the emperor. Every time he thinks about this place, Jiao Shi will feel great pride in his heart.

Wouldn't it be a pity if such a magnificent scene is rarely seen in a lifetime?

Jiao Shizhi raised his lips and sighed lightly, and the words seemed to be for Li Dongyang to know, and even more for himself, "In the eyes of adults, the emperor is just the emperor, but in the eyes of Ren Zhi, the emperor is not just the emperor. Your Majesty, the heights are so cold that you rule the world, but you never see the world, isn't it ridiculous?"

Li Dongyang caressed the teacup slightly, his eyes fell on the young man who had been very gentle opposite him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Jiao Shizhi, are you..." What is it, Li Dongyang didn't say what happened next, but everyone present The two are very clear about each other.

It is the most stupid thing to treat the emperor as a close friend.Did Jiao Shizhi accompany the emperor since he was a child, but he forgot the most important thing?

Li Dongyang frowned tightly.

Monarchs and ministers are not just talking about it.For Li Dongyang and others, the emperor is their allegiance.They were loyal to the first emperor at the beginning, and now they are loyal to Emperor Zhengde, all because they believe that the emperor will be a good monarch.

But if Emperor Hongzhi had another son back then, and he was the one who ascended the throne, it would make no difference to Li Dongyang and others.If the emperor is diligent, the monarch and his ministers will naturally complement each other; if the emperor is cruel, he will naturally give more advice.

That's all.

Jiao Shizhi laughed, and said softly to Li Dongyang, "Now you know the reason why I can't stop the emperor, and I really can't do anything about it."

Li Dongyang shook his head, he couldn't agree with Jiao Shizhi's behavior, "If you don't know the boundary clearly, you will suffer from it yourself in the future."

After receiving Li Dongyang's words of sincere remonstrance, Jiao Shizhi smiled gratefully, but said nothing else.They both understand each other, looking at Jiao Shizhi's appearance, Li Dongyang knew that he wouldn't listen.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao walked into the cabin, saw the two sitting by the window in a strange atmosphere, raised his eyebrows slightly, strode to Jiao Shizhi's side, brushed his hair casually, "You two are so leisurely, Sit here and drink tea together at this time." While talking, he casually picked up the almost untouched teacup in front of Jiao Shi, and took a sip.

The two sitting people looked dazed and even forgot to stand up to meet the emperor.

Jiao Shizhi's resistance was stronger after all, and he reacted a little earlier than Li Dongyang.He looked at the teacup that was still held in the emperor's hand, pretended to be calm and said: "Your Majesty, I have already drank that cup of tea just now."

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, put his hand away meaninglessly, shrugged and said, "I thought you didn't move, but you didn't poison me, so forget it." He was indifferent, and after saying this, he turned and looked at Li Dongyang , "Li Qing's family might as well go out with me for a walk, I just need to find you."

Li Dongyang stood up quickly, and only then did he realize that he hadn't saluted the emperor just now.Emperor Zhengde patted Jiao Shizhi's shoulder naturally, leaned over and said something, then looked at Li Dongyang and raised his eyebrows outside.

As soon as the two went out, Jiao Shizhi raised his hand to cover his ears just now, and gritted his teeth hard, the emperor must have done it on purpose just now!Thinking of Li Ge's bewildered appearance just now, Jiao Shizhi wanted to cover his face.

He got up feebly and went back to the back. The emperor just leaned on his shoulders to talk, just to let him take out the small stack of memorials sent two days ago.But now it seems that it is to give him a buffer opportunity?

When Jiao Shizhi came out with the memorial, he happened to meet Zhu Houzhao's eyes. The cold feeling disappeared instantly, and he said gently: "Let's leave it as it is."

Li Dongyang, who originally thought the emperor would lose his temper, was a little confused, but saw Zhu Houzhao go straight behind him.After taking the memorial from Jiao Shizhi, he turned and handed it to Li Dongyang, "This is the latest memorial. I read it and attached my opinion to it. The Qing family can pass it on as soon as it seems feasible."

Originally, it was supposed to be read by the following people, and after the opinions were collected, Zhu Houzhao made a decision.However, the memorial during this period must be sent directly to the emperor first, Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to do so, and asked Li Dongyang to send it out after making the decision.If Li Dongyang has any problems here, he can also stick to the memorial to discuss.

Looking at the water waves on the river, Zhu Hou took joy in his heart, pulled Jiao Shizhi's sleeve and said, "Shizhi, one day, I will take you to see the snow-capped mountains. It is said that it is a kind of beauty that is different from the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River." .”

Jiao Shizhi couldn't help complaining: "Your Majesty, you can also see the snow scene in the capital. We just came out, so don't think about it. Pity us. Even if you want to scare us, please wait for a while. "

Zhu Houzhao spread his hands nonchalantly, "I didn't mean to let you feel it earlier, don't wait until I tell you beforehand, you look unhappy."

Jiao Shizhi held his breath, could it be that the emperor was going to mess around, and he had to send the emperor away with an excited face?

Li Dongyang watched the interaction between the two with great interest, and saw that the emperor pulled out the long sword that never left Jiao Shizhi's waist, flicked it with his fingers, listened to the vaguely clear long chant sound, and smiled Said: "Shizhi, why don't you accompany me?"

Jiao Shizhi smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have no equipment at hand, and I am not good at musical instruments. You are really making me look ugly."

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, waved his hand twice, jumped back a few steps to perform a set of sword moves, and then exchanged the sword to Jiao Shizhi, which meant that he did not intend to force him.This is also because of Li Dongyang's presence. If there were only the two of them, Zhu Houzhao would definitely not give up so easily.

"Although this boat is interesting, it's hard to move your muscles and bones after staying for a long time. It's indeed a bit uncomfortable." Zhu Houzhao said lazily, like a big cat resting, stretching its body lazily.

Jiao Shizhi smiled and said nothing, the atmosphere was peaceful.

Fortunately, there were only a few days left for them to stay on the ship, and they arrived in Nanjing soon.

Since Ming Chengzu moved his capital to Beijing, subsequent emperors have hardly seen Nanjing again.This time when he was out of Beijing, Zhu Houzhao naturally had the intention of coming here to see it. Although the incident of Zhu Chenhao happened in the middle, there was no need to rush this matter, and Jiao Shizhi knew it well.And if you want to go to Jiangxi, Nanjing is just a trip on the road.

The group of them pretended to be a caravan, and entered Nanjing City after inspection. With a sense of novelty, Zhu Houzhao randomly picked an inn that looked big enough, and after the people went in, he couldn't wait to take Jiao Shizhi out. .

Nanjing is different from Zhengzhou in that the time-honored charm here is even stronger, and every brick and tile carries the echo of history.Zhu Houzhao had just walked three or two streets before sighing, "When Cheng Zu moved the capital, it really took a lot of effort and determination to take shape."

Jiao Shizhi nodded, Nanjing's historical background is incomparable to that of the capital, and Chengzu must have encountered huge resistance back then. "However, moving has the advantages of moving the capital. If you do, you will definitely choose to do so."

After Zhu Houzhao heard the words, he rubbed the back of his head and said, "That's not sure, so don't put a high hat on me. If I knew the difference between Nanjing and Beijing in advance, I might choose how to choose." Emperor Zhengde He is quite clear about his character, he has strategies, but he also needs to enjoy himself.

Jiao Shizhi smiled, but didn't speak.Zhu Houzhao felt uncomfortable after being stared at twice by him, and said, "Why is Shizhi looking at me like this?" Most of the people who are looked at like this on weekdays are Jiao Shizhi.

Jiao Shizhi stretched out his hand and tapped the emperor, and said with a light smile: "It turns out that the emperor is also humble."

Zhu Houzhao pretended to be angry and gave him a blank look, "Why, you think I must be a hardworking person?"

The two of them were walking on the street. As time passed, the night gradually fell, and there were more people. The street was bustling with people. If they didn't get close to talk, they would not be able to hear each other's words clearly.

As the number of people gradually increased, Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao got closer and closer, and their shoulders were also vaguely close together.

Although he has been away for so long, this is the first time that Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao walked so close side by side. Jiao Shizhi originally wanted to answer, but he was slightly stunned by this vague leaning. His sleeve was pulled by a light force.

Under the wide sleeves, Zhu Houzhao tightly hooked Jiao Shizhi's little little finger.

The slight swaying range was covered by the sleeves between each other, and there was a bit of youthful joy in the coming and going.

Jiao Shizhi didn't dare to move, for fear of attracting the attention of others.Feeling the feeling of being pulled tightly, Jiao Shizhi covered his mouth with his hand to cover up the slightly reddish color.Fortunately, it was already late, and the blush reaching the ears was not noticed by Zhu Houzhao.

After the two walked the street, they found a place to eat at the end.The store was quite popular, Zhu Houzhao took a look at the scenery inside the room, and saw that the people were quite serious, so he asked for a seat in the lobby, and did not go to the private room upstairs.

While waiting for the food to be served, both of them listened with interest to the conversations of the people around them.As early as when they entered the store, Jiao Shizhi broke free from the shackles of the noisy voice and the full figure. Now he is on the top with one hand and drinking tea with the other, looking very calm.

After Jiao Shizhi finished his cup of tea, Zhu Houzhao turned to look at him with great interest, "They are all discussing about the new girl who will be released tonight in Yuelou. I have never been to a brothel before. Shizhi , why don't we go and have a look tonight?"

Jiao Shizhi didn't know whether to laugh or not, and didn't think of going there for a while, but said, "Do you still remember the case of Zhang Wanquan before?" If it wasn't for Mou Bin's plan at that time, it would still take time to bring down Zhang Wanquan .

Zhu Houzhao sneered, "Who knows who I am?"

Jiao Shizhi looked at the emperor's eyebrows and eyes, both of them had disguised their faces before they came out, and now they looked only five or six times the same as before, if the emperor...

stop!Jiao Shizhi reminded himself in his heart, and said to Zhu Houzhao with a straight face: "I still feel that something is wrong."

Zhu Houzhao was depressed, so it was impossible for him to leave Jiao Shizhi to watch.It can be said that it is fun for two people to go together, but it may be guessed by one person.

However, the dishes that came up afterwards comforted Zhu Houzhao's wounded heart very well.Zhu Houzhao refused Jiao Shizhi's request to taste the food first, and quickly checked all the dishes with silver needles, and was surprised after taking a bite. The dishes are very delicious, no wonder the business here is so good .

After the two finished solving, Zhu Houzhao sighed: "It would be great if the food at home can be so delicious."

Although the food made by the imperial chef in the palace is for the emperor to eat.But the taste of the dishes is probably still not enough compared to the second and third class restaurants outside the palace.If you do more than you make mistakes, it’s okay if you don’t do it. For the sake of your own life, let alone researching new dishes, it’s not even necessary to improve your cooking skills.

Because it's all eaten like this.

When Zhu Houzhao was in the East Palace, the then Empress Zhang secretly transferred a few cooks outside the palace to cook for him.However, after the A Furong incident, the imperial cooks in the entire palace became more honest.

Zhu Houzhao is not very picky about food, and he has not responded to it until now.However, this was before he had eaten such delicious food, and after all the food he ate out of the palace felt delicious, Zhu Houzhao began to deeply doubt the level of the imperial chef in the palace.

Perhaps it wasn't that he wasn't picky, but that there was no room for pickiness at all with the things he ate.

They were all equally unpalatable.

Jiao Shizhi said: "After all, the rules of the family have been set long ago, and the elders have no objections, so it has been going on like this."

Zhu Houzhao was hit by the words "big patriarch" into his ears, and felt very pleasing to his ears, and nodded with a smile, "Shizhi is right, I will replace them when I go back."

Jiao Shizhi smiled, "Don't move so fast, at least give them a chance to learn." If they are all replaced and newcomers come up, the process of bringing the new with the old will be lost, and Jiao Shizhi is afraid of accidents.

Zhu Houzhao nodded lazily, but he wasn't very concerned about it.By the time they came out of the store, it was already the first lights of the night, and the two of them were walking on the still crowded street. They couldn't recognize the way they were walking for a while, so they could only walk along the street, thinking that they would go to a place where there were few people. Ask someone for directions.

Unexpectedly, as I walked, my eyes suddenly opened up. There were fewer houses on both sides, and there were fewer people setting up stalls, but there were more people passing by than before.

Jiao Shizhi looked up and saw the meandering river unfolding in front of his eyes. It turned out that they had reached the bank of the Qinhuai River.

Earlier they came in along the tributaries of the Qinhuai River, but now that they have seen the night view of Qinhuai River, they know why there is the sentence "smoke cage, cold water, moon cage sand", even though Du Mu did not write this scene for the sake of Praise, but actually depicts that indescribable artistic conception.

Under the quiet moonlight, the shimmering water surface is scattered with silver fragments, and there is a faint figure of the small bridge in the distance, and a painting boat is staying there quietly, with a gorgeous display of lights and festoons.

There are quite a few boats coming and going on the Qinhuai River, some of which are clearly privately owned, but none of them can compare to the painted boat.

Jiao Shizhi saw the interest in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, even though they had just got off the boat in the afternoon.Jiao Shizhi couldn't help being curious, after all, there is no such a spacious and beautiful river in the capital, which is also a rare sight.

The two of them walked there bit by bit along the flow of people, until they were at a relatively close distance, and they saw the wildly dancing characters on the small sign hanging on the painting boat - Yuelou.

It turns out that this is the Moon Tower.

Jiao Shizhi could almost feel the imminent movement of the people beside him, and subconsciously grabbed Zhu Houzhao's sleeve, for fear that the emperor would run away without a trace.Although they looked like only two people now, when they came out, there were at least twenty people around them, but they were all hidden in the dark.

But Jiao Shizhi looked at the scattered figures, all of them were one or two sons and daughters of aristocratic families, there was absolutely no reason to bring a group of servants up.From this we can also see the name of Yuelou. If it is an ordinary brothel, how could it attract so many young masters?

It can be said that Zhu Houzhao really wants to go!

In the end, Jiao Shizhi had nothing to do, knowing that the emperor could not be dragged away from the Moon Tower, so he could only make an agreement with Zhu Houzhao to come out within half an hour, and then found the Jin Yiwei who was hiding behind him, and ordered him to go back and inform the inn So don't come out in a hurry to look for it.

After everything was arranged properly, Jiao Shizhi was dragged by Zhu Houzhao to the small pier where the Moon Tower meets.

Beside the passage connecting the painting boat, there are a few strong men standing there guarding, and a few people who seem to be in charge are beside them.The two stopped and listened for a while, and then they knew the way to go up.

One must be a regular visitor, and a few acquaintances recognized by the steward can go up.The other type is people who make up their minds temporarily, as long as they can afford 500 taels of silver, they can also enter.

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin, leaned on Jiao Shizhi's shoulder and said, "This month, Yuelou can attract a lot of business just by playing this trick." Once I did it in this way, I felt itchy in my heart.

Jiao Shizhi looked helplessly at the emperor who was eager to try, didn't you do the same?The one who was in a hurry to send money was taken advantage of.

It stands to reason that when you go out with the emperor, the person who follows you is the one who pays the bill. Of course, it is true according to the scene in the past.But Zhu Houzhao still has money on him, and not all his purses are used as decorations.

But the denomination is too big!

Perhaps because of the embarrassing scene when he sneaked out of the palace for the first time at the age of eight, and the experience of being cheated by the pawn, Zhu Houzhao had to carry at least a few thousand taels of silver notes with him when he left the palace.

It's just that when Liu Jin and others took the emperor with them, they naturally didn't dare to ask the emperor to pay.And when Jiao Shizhi went out with the emperor, he was the one who paid back the loose bills, because all the peddlers rejected Zhu Houzhao's banknotes.

It can't be broken, and it doesn't even have a place to use it!

However, Zhu Houzhao still carried so many banknotes every time, and it finally came in handy today.He cast a smug look at Jiao Shizhi, then patted the 1000 taels of silver in the hands of the manager, and the two boarded the boat.

This painting boat was bigger than the boat they were on before, and it was a three-story boat. As soon as they boarded, a soft and beautiful woman came over with a sweet smile, "Young masters, I will guide the two of you." Okay?" The people here have venomous eyes, and they can tell at a glance that these two gentlemen with a hint of extravagance are not familiar with these scenes.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Alright, you can introduce this painting boat to us first."

The woman led them inside with a small lantern, and introduced them, "The three-story painting boat is like a building with a connection in the middle. You can also see the lobby on the first floor from the third floor, and the drinking place on the first floor. The new Qing Qing will also be on stage later. If you feel bored, the room on the left of the first floor is a gambling room, you can try your luck. There are also girls on the second floor who can talk to you. As for the third floor, that’s all It is a guest who needs a certificate to go up."

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, "Certificate?"

The woman nodded, and said softly: "Either the certificate given in the building, or a fee of one hundred thousand, you can go inside to find out."

One hundred thousand?

Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.After being led to the lobby, Jiao Shizhi gave the woman a reward and let her leave.

There are quite a few people in the lobby now. In the center of the lobby is a big platform, which is half the height of a person. Below the platform are tables that go out layer by layer around the platform.At this time, there was a lot of voices, and there was a feeling of not knowing where I was.

The two found an empty table and sat down. There was no one around them, but the sound of drinking and yelling was extremely loud. Many men were accompanied by a few beautiful girls, and some of them went to the second floor with beauties in their arms. Not a lot.

Jiao Shizhi tasted the wine that was already on the table, reached out and pressed the hand that Zhu Houzhao was about to raise next to him, "Don't drink it, there is something mixed in it."

Zhu Houzhao was thinking about something at this time, and when he was interrupted, he subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

After asking, both of them froze for a moment, and then put the topic aside together.

Zhu Houzhang looked at the clear wine in amazement, if Shizhi hadn't been vigilant, he couldn't have tried it with a silver needle just now... Wait, how did Shizhi know what was in it?His suspicious eyes fell on Jiao Shizhi, who was soon noticed by Jiao Shizhi, and his body froze immediately.

He'll know because he's hit the same thing before.

There is a kind of medicine that is ground into powder and sprinkled in wine, which will have the effect of strengthening yang. Just a little bit of this substance can make a large vat of wine have this effect, and it is colorless and tasteless.Only when combined with wine, the wine will emit a plum blossom-like aroma.Jiao Shizhi just tasted it for the first time, but he didn't taste the flower wine, so he immediately guessed that there was something in it.

Zhu Houzhao was very persistent in wanting to know why. Facing the emperor who was very thirsty for knowledge, Jiao Shizhi had to confide the embarrassing things before.When he was fifteen or sixteen years old, he worked in the upper middle school, and he still often ran outside. When he came back from a trip, his face was flushed and he felt unwell.Xue Kun glanced at it, and said in a seasoned manner: "Taking an aphrodisiac, it's not something strong, just go and take a cold bath."

At that time, he hadn't finished his last sentence, you can find a woman for you, and the young Jiao Shizhi rushed to the guard next door to jump into the lake.

Knowing that Jiao Shizhi had such an experience, Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you tell me?"

Jiao Shizhi said with a little embarrassment, "You were still young at the time, how could I tell you such a thing?" The emperor was only a ten-year-old child at the time, okay? !Moreover, Jiao Shizhi has always been ashamed of this mistake of drinking something by mistake when going out, how could he take the initiative to mention it?

Zhu Houzhao still pouted dissatisfiedly, and sat across from Jiao Shizhi, covering Jiao Shizhi's ankle with his feet under the cover of the tablecloth.Jiao Shizhi looked helplessly at the person who sat across from him, the emperor was so... childish.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao brought up other things after a while, "If this Qingyuan is not good-looking this time, then we are at a loss. It is really a waste to pay 1000 taels to see a woman back." Zhu Houzhao After looking around for a while, I have vaguely lost interest in the painting boat.

After all, no matter how lively it is, can it still be more lively than the bustling city outside?It's just a fresh picture.As for gambling, he had already been taken over by Liu Jin and others in the capital, and the little bud that had just formed was snuffed out by the vigilant Jiao Shi not long after.As for those on the second floor...

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the Qingliang young man sitting beside him, if this person is willing to accompany him, he can still consider it.But in such a crowded place, forget it.

Jiao Shizhi sighed, "I reminded you just now." Biansheng couldn't be persuaded at that time.

Zhu Houzhao snorted softly, raised his finger and pointed to it, and said in a low voice, "This big head should be here." Jiao Shizhi nodded.

Judging from the words of the woman who led the way just now, the hidden third floor should be prepared for specific people, and even the entrance fee is so high, what kind of things should be prepared inside?No way, the guests on the third floor also came here for today's gimmick.

Emperor Zhengde tapped his fingers on the table, and muttered something so soft that only Jiao Shizhi who was sitting next to him could hear clearly, "I'm really curious..."

Jiao Shi was silent, subconsciously touched his purse, and after confirming that the sum of the silver taels on his body and the silver notes on the emperor's body was less than [-], he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.If the emperor really wanted to go up, he would definitely drag the emperor along.

During the conversation, there were more and more people in the lobby. At a certain moment, the music in the lobby sounded quietly, and a faint smoke filled the table.A beautiful figure danced gracefully in Taichung, and the enchanting dance made many people applaud, which was a good start.Repeatedly, after several rounds of performances, finally a seductive young woman in charge came up, her eyes were full of charm, and she attracted many people's attention as soon as she walked up.

After listening to a few words, Jiao Shizhi knew that Qing Guan was going to appear next.

Many lights and candles in the lobby were extinguished, leaving Taichung alone as the brightest.Many people were attracted by the gimmick this time, and many people opened the windows on the second floor to look down.

The sound of the piano gradually rose, like big and small beads falling on a jade plate. The clear and distant playing made many people nod their heads slightly.Along with the sound of the zither, a beautiful figure stepped out of the air, slowly walking down from the high air like a fairy under the moon, step by step, while still holding the zither and playing the zither, the sound of the zither was melodious.

Jiao Shizhi said in a low voice: "There is something wrong with the sole of that woman's shoe, it should be because of the extremely thin and tough thread."

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

However, at this time, the woman is still holding the pipa and half covering her face, with a light veil covering her face.

But her appearance is enough to cover up everything.

After the song was played, the enchanting young woman came up again, and introduced the woman's name with a smile in front of the whistles all over the place, "Mingyue." Afterwards, Mingyue lifted the veil.

It is as pure and beautiful as the bright moon.

However, two people almost crushed the glass.

Zhu Houzhao said the name once in his mouth, then gritted his teeth and spit out another name, "Zhang Qiaoniang!"

The woman who just lifted the veil on the stage is Zhang Qiaoniang!

Or, a woman with a face like Zhang Qiaoniang.

But are there really two people who look exactly alike in the world?Or, is there really such a superb means of disguise?
