The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1670 The matter fermented

Originally, only a few guests were angry, and most people were watching.

If the people of Jing country worshipped Qing Jun hundreds of years ago, they would be directly charged with treason and exterminated their three clans, but in the already quite open Xinli Ten Kingdoms period, as long as they honestly said that they worshipped wrongly, the matter would be over.

The time of Xiangzhou people is not in vain, and not many people will spend their time on such things.

To put it bluntly, there are too many people in Xiangzhou who betray their country openly or secretly, and people with a little bit of brains are too lazy to care. Since the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs don’t need to care too much. After all, those who betray their country have their hands and eyes all over the sky, and it’s not certain which current cabinet minister or former prime minister is behind it.

So when the incident happened, the people in Yingfang Pavilion ate melons, watched the excitement, and discussed it. It was originally a fun thing to talk about.

Until Hua Qingniang pointed at someone at the scene and said that she was not wrong, and anyone who dared to discuss this matter again would be reported to the police and arrested, a few people exploded like firecrackers on the spot, and began to accuse and attack Hua Qingniang one after another.

The idle people who were eating melons on the side were also confused. After all, this Yingfang Pavilion was the property of Qingjiang Commercial Bank, which was very famous in Baling City. Moreover, this brothel was at least clean on the surface, not an ordinary brothel. Those singers and dancers were not ordinary prostitutes. They all claimed to sell art but not their bodies.

However, the guests who came here knew that the reason why the singers and dancers in this brothel said that they sold art but not their bodies was just to increase their value. They only sold their bodies to scholars, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. At least Jinshi or seventh-rank officials or people from famous families could let them sell their bodies.

Even though they knew that they sold their art and bodies, many people still paid to watch them because these women were good at singing and dancing.

Who knew that they would encounter such a thing.

Yingfang Pavilion was in chaos. Those who were watching the fun joined in and began to blame Hua Qingniang.

That night, people from Baling who heard the news surrounded Yingfang Pavilion and demanded Hua Qingniang to apologize.

At first, Yingfang Pavilion relied on the power behind it and ignored the people who besieged it. Soon, a scholar from Jingguo posted this on the discussion list, which attracted the attention of some people.

However, the people of Qing and Jing paid more attention to it, while people from other countries just looked at it and left, after all, it had little to do with them.

Below this article, people from Qing and Jing started to debate.

At the beginning, it was the people of Qing who were sarcastic.

"The people of Xiangzhou are very humorous. Even the madams and prostitutes are shouting for war and killing. No wonder the good people of Xiangzhou became the Xiangzhou thieves that everyone cursed after they surrendered to Jingguo."

"I guess only Xiangzhou thieves would bully a weak woman."

"It's just singing and dancing. The singer of the ditty praises the heroes of other countries. Isn't it suicide?"

"The hearts of your people are made of glass."

"Please separate folk art from politics."

Then, the people of Jingguo began to fight back.

"Everyone in Qingguo probably has millions of silver in their home. Hua Qingniang is famous all the way in Xiangzhou, and has countless 'noblemen'. Now she manages all the brothels of Qingjiang Commercial Bank in Xiangzhou. If this is a weak woman, then men below the level of Jinshi in the human race probably don't deserve to be called men."

"If someone pays respect to Jingjun in the brothels and restaurants in your Qingdu, probably no one will care. After all, you Qingguo people are very generous. However, I heard that in the military competition two years ago, when Qingjun arrived and raised the Qinglong flag, a Jinshi general was punished by Qingguo for not bowing his head and saluting. The people from top to bottom unanimously accused each other, and finally forced the general who had been a Jinshi to move out of Qing State and live in Kongcheng. The glass hearts of you Qing people seem to be more fragile, a group of Qing ****. "

"You Qing people are so shameless that you say that folk art should be separated from politics, but decades ago you ordered all brothels and other places to perform a song and dance that vilifies us Jing people every ten days. You Qing people are really divided, a whole circle. "

In addition to the debate, some Jing people just discussed the matter itself and did not argue with Qing people.

"Brothers, may I ask what kind of person is Hua Qingniang? Why did she still not care when she was found worshipping the portrait of Qing Jun, but instead blamed the guests? Also, is she really so stupid? Worshiping the monarch of another country in Jing State? Is she really a spy planted by Qing State in Xiangzhou? "

Many people answered, but none of them could explain it.

Then, a Kongcheng Jinshi told the truth of the matter.

"I see many people accuse Hua Qingniang of being a spy of Qing. As a Kongcheng native who often travels between Qing and Xiangzhou, I can say that she is not a spy of Qing. Why did she ask the singing and dancing girls to pay homage to Qing Jun? You may say she is stupid, but she is not stupid. The song and dance she compiled is to praise Qing Jun. Her purpose is very simple, that is, to gain the appreciation of Huaiyu, a master of singing and dancing in Qing. Many people should know who Huaiyu is. This person has an unclear relationship with Qing Jun. Paying homage to Qing Jun will naturally please her."

"Once she is appreciated by Huaiyu, Hua Qingniang will leave the ranks of ordinary madams. As long as her noble If she wanted to, she could be made into a famous lady. She was not short of money, and her influence was even stronger than that of a county magistrate. She just wanted to get a better status, so when someone opposed her, she didn't care at all and thought she was right. "

"She is not stupid, but she is stupid. When she was criticized by customers, she apologized casually and said she would donate money to charity, and those customers would not care. When things calmed down, she would take the singing girls and dancing girls to Qing Kingdom. Who could do anything to her? No one would care. Humans are very forgetful. But she thought this matter was nothing. She thought she had a noble person behind her, so she acted recklessly, which aroused public anger. "

"However, this matter will inevitably end in nothing. She is just a brothel owner. Who can say anything about it in Xiangzhou and Jingguo government? They think too highly of a brothel owner. If Fang Xusheng stands up and says he wants to punish her, it will end up with Fang Xusheng getting into trouble, which will further increase Hua Qingniang's reputation. However, if the Jingguo government completely ignores it, it means that Jingguo is rotten from top to bottom. In short, this matter will eventually end in nothing. After all, those who are really powerful in Jingguo don't want to offend Qingjiang Commercial Bank, let alone the nobles behind Hua Qingniang."

More and more people from Jingguo and Qingguo participated in the discussion. Soon, everyone found that Ge Yiming, the nephew of Ge Baiwan from Qingjiang Commercial Bank, also appeared and replied with a sentence.

"Qing Jun is a benevolent king. You should bow to him when you see him."

Qing people began to praise Ge Yiming, while some people from Jingguo cursed, and some people from Jingguo left the discussion list and stopped talking about this matter.

In a small courtyard behind the governor's office, Fang Yun was reading the documents sent from the governor's office.

Beside his desk, there were a large number of bookcases filled with documents. From time to time, people brought in bookcases and took some away.

Fang Yun spent the whole day reading the documents from the governor's office. These documents were not important to the Holy Court and were not recorded by the Holy Court, so Fang Yun could not directly check them with the official seal and could only read them here.

The sun was about to rise, and Fang Yun was about to go to bed. Before going to bed, he habitually held the official seal and took a look at the discussion list, and found the incident of Yingfang Pavilion paying homage to Qing Jun.
