Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

In the harem, since the death of Mrs. Zhao, it has become much calmer. The remaining wives and concubines are either too old to be favored, or too young to cultivate their own power, and they have no sons by their side. Can't inspire fighting spirit.

"If a new little prince can be born in this harem, it will be very lively. Presumably the emperor will temporarily stop thinking about establishing a prince." Huang Junshi shook his feather fan and said.

Recently, the Ruyi Teahouse in Beijing began to tell the story of "Three Kingdoms". Junshi Huang went to listen to one today and was shocked for a long time. Then he immediately replaced his folding fan with a lupine made of feathers. It is very popular in Beijing.

The eldest prince never got drunk, drank half the night, had another fight with Hua Niang, came back still full of energy, called Huang Junshi in the middle of the night, and told about the palace banquet.

"Father is getting old. Didn't you see that his hair is mostly gray, and he looks old. It's really hard to imagine that he was still as handsome ten years ago."

"It's inevitable. I heard that the emperor is addicted to alchemy. Those pills are untouchable things. Taking them for a long time will definitely hurt the spirit."

The eldest prince slammed his fist on the table and cursed angrily: "These slaves actually watched Father go astray, from my point of view, this might be all ordered by Li Xu, they are full of bad things! "

Junshi Huang’s hand shaking the fan paused, a bit of confusion appeared on his face. He heard that the story of the Three Kingdoms was given to Yu Boming by King Shun, and that it was done by a late hermit, but Junshi Huang felt that it might be King Shun I wrote it myself.

To be able to write such a story, King Shun must be a famous general even if he cannot be a generation of Mingjun.

Outsiders think that the eldest prince is brave and invincible, with superb military strategy, but Master Huang knows his master too well. He is not fake in martial arts, but not smart. He has a bad temper and a narrow mind. Northwest has been stable for many years. The result of their concerted efforts, on the one hand, is also the result of the Xiongnu's civil strife and no time to take care of Dayan.

Military division Huang had no intention of changing hands. The eldest prince was his savior, and he would swear allegiance to him to the death, but this did not prevent him from knowing that the eldest prince was not a famous general of the Ming army.

"Maybe the emperor just said casually, the matter of the third prince still hit him hard. At that time, only King Shun was by his side, and the point is, King Shun didn't take advantage of the situation, which made the emperor feel relieved of him." Quite a lot, King Shun has a more sacred heart than you holding a heavy army."

"Li Xu has been favored since he was a child. He thought he could be crucified for that incident back then, but he didn't expect him to be so fatal that he could get away with such a serious crime." The eldest prince stared at the pen holder on the table viciously. Some of the things in the house were originally there, and some were arranged by his attendants after he came, which looked a little uncoordinated.

Huang Junshi reminded: "My lord, be careful that the wall has ears. After all, this is not the northwest." When the Han family rebelled and they got the news from far in the northwest, they knew that this was the best time to get rid of the prince, so they pushed behind. Let the Han family force the palace more smoothly, and let the emperor get the news in time, and successfully quell the chaos.

It's just that they didn't expect that Li Xu would sacrifice his life to save him in the end, allowing him to escape unharmed.

"Send people to South Vietnam to investigate again. We must investigate the matter of Li Xu and Kou Xiao thoroughly. It is best to get some personal evidence. If the matter is true, it is absolutely impossible for the father to make him the crown prince."

Huang Junshi disapproved and said: "Although good masculinity is indeed a stain, if the two of them refuse to admit it to death, or have already cut off their robes, it is nothing at all. You must know that King Shun once married a wife. He As long as there is a son, who cares whether he likes a man or a woman."

"What if they really got married?"

Master Huang smiled, "Do you think this is possible?" In the whole world, I am afraid that there are men and women who can get married in an upright manner, and they are low-level peasants who cannot marry a woman and have no choice but to form a contract with a man. The majestic prince and the great general... how is it possible?

The eldest prince also knew that his thoughts were a little naive, so he swept away the things on the table with one hand, and said angrily: "This will not work, and that will not work. Can I just watch my father appoint him as the crown prince? If he is restored, The whole court will definitely not look at this king again."

"So, the subordinate's meaning is still the same as just now. There should be joy in the harem. Even if the child is not born in the end, it can temporarily distract the emperor."

"Is it true that the child can have it if he says that he has it? You can't just stuff it in, can you?"

"It depends on whether you have someone of your own in the harem. It is easy to say that a woman is pregnant, but it is not easy to find a suitable person."

The eldest prince understood what he meant, and suddenly his head was as big as a cow, "How dare you think..." To ask him to wear a cuckold for his father, just thinking about such a thing makes his scalp tingle.

"In case things get leaked, this is a serious crime, even more serious than the rebellion of the third child."

Huang Junshi said lightly: "It's not that you are asked to fight in person. Even if the matter is revealed, the person who died is an adulterer and adulterer. What does it have to do with you?"

The eldest prince took a deep breath, "We have limited people in the capital, can we find suitable candidates?"

"As long as you hand over your own people in the palace to your subordinates, there will be good news within a month."

"We can't just rely on this, it's not safe enough, we still have to find a way to suppress Li Xu, his reputation in the court is too good, at least let him be ruined." After meeting again, it became more and more intense. Seeing Li Xu's misfortune was more joyful than anything else.

"It's not easy. He was not implicated in the Han family's affairs back then, and the military salary embezzlement case was also proven to be a frame-up. The common people have already believed that King Shun is a good man, and pouring dirty water on him will easily cause a commotion." Huang The military division knew the master's knots, but he didn't really want to do these things.

In the Shun Palace next door, Li Xu didn't sleep. Yu Boming knocked on the door of the palace in the middle of the night, and pulled him to tell him how good the business of the teahouse was today, how many customers there were, and how enthusiastic the response was. That's why I came to chat with Li Xu.

Li Xu supported his head and listened to him talking like a storyteller, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, and he found a space to ask: "Mr. Yu, the Three Kingdoms is a good story, but it takes your eloquence to tell it It’s wonderful to say, otherwise it will only be dusty in the hands of others.”

Yu Boming made a bow to Li Xu: "My lord, this is a compliment, otherwise if you sell this story to other teahouses or theater troupes, it will be very popular."

"But they don't have the generosity of Mr. Yu, who donated [-]% of their income to the foundation." Li Xu would talk to him about this matter because he liked Yu Boming's disposition that didn't value fame and fortune. Those with lower vision will not cooperate with him at all.

The foundation has been formally established, and currently it only has this income. Before the money arrives, Hong Liang has already negotiated a deal with Jingzhao Mansion.

In the past, when the Jingzhao Mansion received a report, if the children of ordinary people were lost, they basically would not take care of them. Unless the children of wealthy families were abducted, the government would send people to look for them. But in this era, there is no monitoring Equipment, access to various places does not require proof, it is really a needle in a haystack to find someone, so the results are minimal.

After hearing some suggestions from Li Xu, Hong Liang went to the government to register a security agency, and then told the government that in the future, if there is a missing person report, their bodyguard agency can help find someone for free. There is only one condition, that is, no matter who comes to report the case, the government must know The Escort Bureau said that if the government doesn't want to take care of it, they can entrust them to handle it, and the government will take all the credit for finding it back.

This kind of good thing sounds like a fairy tale. Hong Liang used to be a small official in Jingzhao Mansion, and he knew many people. He offended a chief bookkeeper. In the past, to him, offending such a person would have basically no future. It's all gone, but now, he is the steward of Prince Shun's Mansion, and he has more face than the master when he goes out. He takes King Shun's name card to find the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, and even Zheng Can wants to give him three points of face.

Mr. Zheng heard that King Shun wanted to do good deeds, and Mr. Yu specially donated a sum of money to find people. The government only needs to send a message to get free labor. It is the government's credit to find people. Just like before, no one would refuse such a good thing.

"I heard that Guanshi Hong is recruiting talents recently?" Yu Boming asked curiously.

"Yes, he is going to recruit a painter. Four or five are in the wild. At the beginning, there is a shortage of manpower, so it is difficult to make achievements."

Yu Boming wasn't worried about this, he asked tentatively: "I heard that he hired a thief yesterday, and he was in prison, and this news was brought by a customer in the teahouse. Is it true?"

"This king has never paid attention to this. Mr. Yu wants to know, just ask Hong Liang to go over tomorrow and ask him. As long as it is related to the project you donated, you can ask him."

Yu Boming also just wanted to remind him to pay attention to employing people, not really wanting to interfere with Hong Liang's work. He had contact with Hong Liang and knew that he was a man of principle. explained.

The next day, Li Xu met Hong Liang before he left the house, and he presented a list, which was the first batch of members of the Escort.

"My lord is busy, I shouldn't bother you with such a trivial matter, but my subordinates feel uneasy, and I want to ask you to give me some advice."

"Oh? What do you want to ask?"

"It's like this. You said that it's best for bodyguards to find a few people from the quackery, and it's best to mix with heretics. According to this idea, the subordinate recruited four people in. One is a habitual thief. He has been in the industry for more than 20 years. I have been arrested several times, and served in prison. This time, I decided to wash my hands after I was released from prison. The second is a swordsman. His swordsmanship is not very good, but he comes from a famous family. He was kicked out of the sect because of a mistake. I have been working as a thug in a gambling shop; the third is a beggar who has lived in the Chenghuang Temple outside the city for ten years because of his laziness. ...It was a procuress, quite old, who used to run a brothel, a kind of small household. Later, the girls in the building got older and the business was getting worse and worse, so they divided the money and dismissed them. She has no children, no relatives, no reason, and she has spent all her savings so she wants to find something to do."

After Hong Liang finished speaking, he felt that these people were too unseemly. Before, he would not even take a second look at such people, but the prince said that if you want to find someone, heretics are more convenient than officials. Also know the doorway better, and the efficiency will be higher.

"My lord... do you think these people are okay?" Hong Liang asked nervously.

The corners of Li Xu's mouth twitched. These people are basically people with criminal records in modern times. Generally, employers have to eliminate them, but if they are used to find people, they should still be useful.

The premise is that they are willing to do their best for this cause.

"You have to use it to know if it works. I just want to ask you, can you guarantee that this thief will not continue to steal, this swordsman will not hurt people at will, this beggar will not repeat the same mistakes, and this old bustard will not resume his old career? "

Hong Liang was petrified, he had a face of shame and bewilderment, "These people...they all promised to give up the past and do a good job."

"Then sign an agreement for them. As long as they breach the contract, they will be sent to prison at any time. Each person will be given a three-month probationary period. The monthly salary of the probationary period will be halved. After becoming a full-time employee, if they do well, they can get a salary increase."

Hong Liang thought he would be scolded, but he didn't expect the prince to agree to use these people. Now he finally has the confidence to tell others that his choice was right.

"There is another painter...that, do you want to listen to it too?" Hong Liang rubbed his little hands, anxiously reported the painter's resume to Li Xu, and then waited to be scolded.

Li Xu felt that the sun must have risen from the west this morning, otherwise why would he have to listen to such bad things early in the morning, "A painter who likes to paint nudes? Have you ever seen many men, women and children taking a bath? Such a person... Such a person...why is he still alive?"

Hong Liang shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "I was almost beaten to death several times, and then he went to practice lightness kung fu. I heard from the swordsman that his lightness kung fu is also one of the best in the Jianghu. Since then, no one has been able to catch him." him."

"Heh, what a painter with ideals!" Li Xu waved his hand, "Forget it, no matter what happened in the past, from now on, if he dares to peek without someone's consent, I will have his eyes gouged out. You let him think it over and see whether his lightness kung fu is better or this king's people are better."

Hong Liang nodded again and again. With the support of the prince, it is safe to do things, otherwise he really can't control these people with just a small steward.

After finishing talking, Hong Liang was about to leave, but Li Xu suddenly stopped him and said, "That painter, you ask him to come to the palace tomorrow, and this king can see how his painter is doing."

Hong Liang said pleasantly: "My lord, his paintings are really lifelike. The subordinates also thought that if there were portraits of missing persons, it would be faster to find them, so they kept him."

"I'll talk about it after I see it." Regarding the painting skills of this era, Li Xu only stayed in a few antique paintings. In terms of realism, modern sketches with colored pencils are more realistic.
