Prostitution

"Master, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin is asking to see you." Lian Qi reported.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Cheng smiled awkwardly, with a bit of displeasure between his brows.

"It is said that the prince's birthday is approaching, so I will give you a gift first."

Yuan Cheng snorted coldly, "Change clothes."

This Jingzhao Yin Liu Shen was once an inconspicuous butler in the imperial censor's mansion. Seven years ago, he reported on Mr. Wen who had resigned from office and went back to seclusion for plotting against him. .

Liu Shen was promoted because of his meritorious deeds in reporting, and he was promoted to Jingzhao Yin in just a few years.

It can be seen that he has a set of skills in flattery.

Liu Shen bent his knees and got used to being unable to stand up straight, as if he was born with a slavish face.

There are two boxes full of gold bars on the side, and the golden light shines brightly.

Behind him, a few juicy, curly-haired teenagers held their breath.

Yuan Cheng appreciated them one by one very cooperatively, with a look of anger on his face, "Master Liu is really considerate, King Zhiben just sent two of them away and came to fill in the gaps."

Liu Shen smiled obsequiously, lowering his waist even lower, revealing his slavish face, "It's all for Prince Bo's sake. It's their honor to be pleased by the prince. I hope the prince will accept it with a smile."

Yuan Cheng said with a faint smile, "My king's birthday is still one month away, and Mr. Liu is interested. On the day of the banquet, please honor your presence."

"My lord speaks seriously, I will definitely go to the banquet on time."

Yuan Cheng's smile deepened, "The emperor has repeatedly praised Mr. Liu for his meritorious deeds in governing the government, and he has worked hard. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to him. I also ask Mr. Liu to speak a few words of kindness for the king in front of the emperor."

Liu Shen was so 'terrified' that his head almost fell to the ground, "My lord, my lord is too flattering to be dismissed from office!"

"Master Liu is too modest. You and I are officials in the same dynasty, so we should trust and help each other."

"Yes... what the prince said is... then the official will retire first..."

"Lian Qi, send Master Liu well for this king."

Liu Shen bowed his head in and out, not even daring to look at him.

Yuan Cheng squinted at the hall with a cold face, a trace of worry swept his eyebrows.

Since the news of his manly sex spread across the country, in the past six or seven years, half of the molesters who came in and out of the palace came from officials and half came from the city's prostitutes. They can circle the capital with a rope, and I'm afraid it will go on like this. Teenagers will be ruined.

But he also had reasons to do it.

When the two of them returned to the courtyard, Wen Qu hurriedly bolted the door, leaning his back against the door and gasping for breath, beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks.

"Master... Let's run away... You are right, the prince is cruel... No wonder the palace is haunted by ghosts, too many people died unjustly..."

"I didn't get any money, are you sure you want to go?"

"What's the use of money when you're dead..."

Wen Wuyu thought about it seriously, "It makes sense."

"Then let's go now, I'll call Wu Qu..." Wen Qu was full of sadness and joy, and pulled his face out of the latch.

"Wait a minute," Wen Wuyu grabbed him, "I'm afraid our heads will be cut off if we can't get out of the gate of the palace. Think about it, can we leave without the consent of the prince?"

"What do you say?" Wen Qu's facial features were twisted into a ball, and his voice was crying.

Wen Wuyu showed a kind smile, and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, don't come with me to see the prince in the future, just help Wu Qu prepare dishes in the small kitchen. Stay away from him, and I can't fault you .”

Wen Qu blinked and thought it was right, then asked again, "Then what should you do, in case the prince gets upset and kills you."

Wen Wuyu shrugged meaninglessly, "I don't make mistakes."

Wen Qu spoke loudly, "Master, you didn't see that young man just now, but he just pulled his hair and got chopped off. If he wants to kill you, it's wrong to fart!"

Wen Wuyu swept his face with the fly whisk, and Shi Shiran walked to the wing room, "Don't bother me, if the prince wants to kill us, the reason you want to raise green cattle in the palace just now is enough for us to die a hundred times, besides, the prince asked me to go out on Qingming." , it can be seen that we are not in danger of our lives at present.”

As he said that, he stopped, looked at Wen Qu at the door of the pestle, and smiled half-truthfully, "If one day my head is really beheaded, you can take my private money and take Wu Qu away to fly high and have a good time. Isn't it beautiful!"

Whether the master's life is more important than wealth and happiness is more important, Wen Qu has not yet weighed it, but escaping the palace right now is like a fairy tale, so he has to put it aside for the time being.

During the Qingming Festival, the sky is gloomy and gloomy.

When the prince goes out, as usual, he must be surrounded by a group of guards and servants.But this time, they didn't bother to mobilize everyone, and there was not even a person to see him off at the gate of the mansion.

There are only two people and two rides.

A rosy figure and moon charm, a Taoist fairy style, long hair leisurely and curling up, quite a bit like traveling the world together.

The sky is gray and cloudy, and it is obvious that it will rain today.

Wen Wuyu took a sneak peek, and found that the black wind horse under the prince's crotch was empty except for the saddle it was equipped with - neither of them had an umbrella.

Fortunately, after walking for more than ten miles, the sky was still cloudy, and the rain did not fall for a long time.

The more you walk, the more remote you will be, and you will see lush vegetation and deserted people.

Wen Wuyu began to feel a little flustered, he didn't know where to go for the so-called outing.Could it be that he found a gloomy mountain stream and forest, hacked him up and exposed his corpse in the wilderness without anyone noticing.

At this time, Yuan Cheng, who was silent all the way, glanced at him with a smile, "How many years has Mr. Wen cultivated?"

Wen Wuyu was taken aback, "Going back to the prince, about ten years."

"It should have started around the age of ten?"

Wen Wuyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "My way is superficial, and I have never paid attention to it."

"Joining the world is easy and getting out of the world is difficult. You stay away from the hustle and bustle and your mind is unstable. Now that you are in the world of mortals, it is even more difficult to calm down. The idea of ​​​​respecting the teacher is quite interesting."

"My family teacher often lives in a small building on the top of the mountain, and I can't go down to the palace once a year. I am the most uncertain among all the brothers and sisters. I have been doing it for many years, and I am probably not suitable for practicing Taoism."

Yuan Cheng glanced at him, with unclear meaning, "You can memorize the Tao Te Ching backwards, which shows that you have put a lot of effort into it. I remember one sentence in it, Dafang Wuyu, your name probably comes from this."

"My lord has a good memory, that's why I took it from the word Wuyu."

Yuan Cheng stared into the distance, the wind was blowing up and down, the vegetation was swaying,

"There is still a long way to go. Why don't Mr. Wen explain what Tao is? You can just talk about the Tao Te Ching."

The prince was in high spirits, and he was very understanding. If he didn't say anything, he really seemed like a hypocrite, condescending himself. After thinking for a while, he spoke calmly,

"The Tao Te Ching is an ancient work. It discusses the way of self-cultivation and governing the country with a wide range of words. I have only seen and understood, but I don't understand state affairs. If I repeat my shallow understanding, I hope the prince will not laugh at you.

I personally think that Tao, illusory and real, exists, and Tao is hidden and nameless.

Dao produces all things, but there is no existence, and morality educates all things, but there is no dependence.There are no absolutes in the world, misfortunes and blessings depend on them, and when the moon is full, things will suffer extreme losses, and everything will change. The only way to change is to follow.

That's why I think the truth lies in following nature, not forcing or interfering, benefiting without harming, aiding without fighting, seeking simplicity from extravagance, keeping simplicity and seeking truth, making up for deficiencies and supplementing deficiencies, cultivating virtues, and being tolerant to all rivers.

The reason why heaven and earth exist forever is that they can last for a long time because they do not generate themselves.Respect the Tao and honor the virtues, even though the body dies, the gods will not die, and the saints are also.

Those who practice the Tao like to be quiet and do nothing, have few selfish desires, and only seek longevity and long-term vision, and the unity of nature and man.I also searched for it up and down. "

After finishing his speech, Wen Wuyu swallowed,

Yuan Cheng beside him said leisurely,

"Listen to what you said, Tao exists in all things, and you can see the big from the small, because it is not selfish and not destroyed. In fact, the Tao is simple, and everyone understands the truth. I understand that you are a fake Taoist. You can't be a saint. You can’t do this with less selfish desires.”

"My lord is right. The world is chaotic and the avenues are broad, but everyone takes shortcuts and takes evil paths and does not follow the usual ways. I am in the world, and I can't be noble and uncontested. I also said it. His words are easy to understand and easy to do. But the world can’t know and can’t do it.”

Yuan Cheng smiled against the wind, "So you don't feel ashamed or uneasy because you are a monk but indulge in money and lust."

Wen Wuyu lowered his head and smiled, as a tacit consent.

Yuan Cheng stared at him, the situation in his bright eyes was changing and unpredictable for a while,

"It's getting late, keep up."

After finishing speaking, he whipped the horse and sped out like lightning.

Wen Wuyu was stunned again, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a figure from the back dancing wildly in the wind.
