As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

So Qin Youque definitely wouldn't agree if someone else came to invite him, but Mr. Qin didn't care much about etiquette when invited by a guy like Hua Manlou who could go down in history when he was young—even if it was an invitation from his subordinates.

"Grandpa, the mansion I originally settled for you hasn't been settled yet, so you might as well live with me these days, and the place is bigger." After a few words of politeness, Hua Manlou directly invited: "I will give you an old mansion It’s not too late to pack up and move out, don’t you think?”

"The guest is up to the owner, the old man will come as the uncle says."

Seeing this posture, Lao Qin knew how his apprentice and Hua Manlou were progressing, so he immediately agreed, and even glanced at Su Jiu'er with a smile.

Qin Youque's family was settled in this way, and on the second day, Lao Qin, as the elder of Su Jiu'er, and Hua Manlou symbolically sent Na Cai, Wen Ming, Na Ji, Na Zheng, and Qi Qi It's all done.

To marry a wife, of course you have to go through the process carefully, right?

The wedding is approaching.

493. Silver Prince

Capital.

"Is it allowed to marry four people who are not allowed by the etiquette? Hmph, if he didn't have a son, this king would have thought that Hua Manlou was his real son."

In the study of a certain prince's mansion, a guy with a fat head and big ears said such a sentence in a strange way.

There were two other people in the study, one looked to be the housekeeper, and the other was Pu Zhenghao who impeached Huamanlou.

Hearing the fat man complain, Pu Zhenghao said dryly, "Yes, your lord is wise."

So, some things have to be seen through the phenomenon to see the essence. Nowadays, no matter whether it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Sixth Division, they are too lazy to care about the affairs of Huamanlou. Go up and hate flowers all over the building?

Unless there is shady.

"Okay, let's go." The fat-headed guy waved his hands like chasing flies: "You have made a contribution to this matter, and this king will remember your goodness."

"Yes, my lord."

Pu Zhenghao left with a bitter face.

Pu Zhenghao was by no means the kind of hot-blooded hero who would be terribly angry after Huamanlou's loss.

But this prince has a request, how dare he refuse?

Hua ManLou may not die, after all, he has never taken revenge on the officials, even the most ruthless group of people who offended him.

But this prince...

Pu Zhenghao believed that if he did not act according to his requirements, his family would probably die.

So how did Pu Zhenghao, an upright speech officer, get on this fat, big-eared thief ship?

Huamanlou is really to blame for this matter, or rather Huamanlou's loyal son-in-law Peng Guang. The fact that he sent Pu Zhenghao to the brothel completely ruined Pu Zhenghao's reputation. Being an official is very important. After that trip to the club, Pu Zhenghao fell down.

Without a reputation, doesn't the speaker with two sleeves have to ask for money?In the beginning, Pu Zhenghao was just collecting money to do business, and then someone from a certain prince came to his door. The portion of the souvenir he sent was a bit exaggerated, so...

Today, it is too late for Pu Zhenghao to wake up.

Lord Jie, it doesn't look like a good silver!

So who is this prince?

King Yiduan, the superficial half-brother of Emperor Guangxing, enfeoffed the state of Lanzhou.

The current Lanzhou Mansion is not like Lanzhou, which was famous all over the country for its Lanzhou cuisine at the time of Huamanlou, and if it was placed in Huamanlou's previous life, Lanzhou in this period even stayed in the grasslands for a while, which is quite appropriate The border is gone.

What is there in Lanzhou Prefecture?

If Huamanlou, he will tell you that there are mines, and there are many, but now King Yiduan will tell you: there is nothing!

Today's Lanzhou is not as lively as the capital, nor as prosperous as the south of the Yangtze River. To the east is the Loess Plateau, and to the west is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Because of its strategic location in history, it is difficult to have the opportunity to develop into a big city.

And after Da Zhao blocked the trade, although Lanzhou in the depths of the Hexi Corridor has become more stable, although the slack in trade has allowed the fragile agriculture in the valley to develop, does King Yiduan want agriculture?

No, what he wants is a debauchery!

Both are the sons of the late emperor, one holds great power in the capital and is the emperor, but the other can only be the prince in the bitter cold area of ​​the northwest, and he is the kind of prince who can't have fun playing, you think he can bear this heresy?

"Brother Huang, you have been emperor for more than ten years, why should I sit on the throne now?" Seeing Pu Zhenghao walk out, King Yiduan muttered viciously.

Taking a sip from the teacup, King Yiduan said slowly, "According to the dog emperor's trust in Huamanlou, he must be there when Huamanlou gets married, right?"

The man dressed as a butler replied: "Yes, the prince is wise."

"Well, have all the gifts been sent out?"

"I have sent them all away. The Shenji Camp and the Fifth Army Camp will cause trouble at that time, and there will be people from the Xuanwu Guard to respond." The steward introduced in an orderly manner: "The soldiers and horses of the Five Cities will open the gates at that time. As long as the emperor and the prince die, the palace will Someone will open the Meridian Gate and invite the prince to enter the palace to preside over the overall situation."

"Very good. Those three old guys still didn't accept the gift?"

"Yes."

"I don't know how to praise. Forget it, this king is the heir of the first emperor. After the emperor and the crown prince die, this king will succeed to the throne. When the time comes, they will recognize it, and they will recognize it." King Yiduan said reservedly: "Well, The king will not enter the palace when the time comes, just wait for them to come and invite you."

After a pause, King Yiduan said again: "Remember, we are messing up the court but not the world. After we succeed, we will control the officials as soon as possible, block the capital, and release the news after the king ascends the throne. Otherwise, the two kings The worried emperor brother has an idea. Speaking of which, do you have any news about the person sent to monitor them?"

"Back to the lord, not for the time being."

"Well, no news is the best news." King Yiduan nodded: "Let them live their lives dreaming and dying, and they won't treat them badly after this king succeeds to the throne. It would be great to change them to a rich place to enjoy happiness." Yes, give me more silver taels and more beautiful women... You see, what a good brother this king is."

"Yes, brothers and sisters are respectful, you can set an example for all people."

"That's right, I want to be the emperor of my brothers and sisters, but I can't be like my brother, digging and searching for some money." King Yiduan's face of the past is unbearable: "This king... ...poor!"

"My lord... you have worked hard."

"Well, speaking of being poor, our family has heard that Huamanlou not only quietly arranged for the emperor to transport the sea, but also brought back a mountain of silver for the emperor from the kingdom of Wa." King Yiduan's eyes glowed. : "Mountain of silver! So much money, how can we spend it all! The result is like this, he is not willing to allocate more money to the king!"

The more King Yiduan said, the more aggrieved he became: "He sat on the throne of the emperor, and this king didn't say anything. He enjoyed the prosperity of the capital, and this king didn't say anything, but money... silver! This king is suffering!"

"My lord... really worked hard."

"That's right, isn't it." King Yiduan wiped his tears: "Oh, they were all born by the same father, so why rush each other? By the way, speaking of money, Huamanlou is a good money maker , this time the Emperor of Killing Dogs, I command you not to hurt Huamanlou. When this king ascends the throne, this king will confer on him... what will he confer on him?"

The housekeeper hesitated and said: "The Ministry of household...Shangshu?"

"It's too small! It's too small!" King Yiduan sighed: "A mountain of silver, a small earl of him can earn a mountain of silver for the dog emperor, and this king will make him a county king when the time comes... No, Prince! Just call him Prince Yin, and earn silver for this prince!”

The corner of the butler's mouth twitched: "My lord... wise!"

"Okay, don't hold your stinky feet anymore, go down and order what you should order, what you should deal with, and be more vigilant, huh?"

"Yes, my lord."

The butler wiped off his cold sweat and went out.

494. Did the young master provoke you?

"What the hell? Someone gave you a skinny horse?"

Prince Hua Yin Manlou looked at Huang Zichao who came to report and smiled very happily.

"Yes, Uncle." Huang Zichao looked helpless: "I have been questioning for a long time, and I only found out that the person who gave the gift is a member of King Yiduan."

"You took it? Are you moist?" Hua Manlou looked curious.

"Ahem..." Huang Zichao was almost choked to death by his saliva, and after a while he looked at Huamanlou in horror and said, "Uncle, this is not a joke, how dare you accept it! But that person left him behind." I just left, and the two women who were sent to the government didn't know how to drive them away..."

A vassal king suddenly started to give gifts in a big way in the capital, and it seems that everyone has a share. What does this mean?

It shows that his enterprising spirit is very strong!

So Huang Zichao was very frightened, for fear of being involved in the rebellion of the vassal king.

"Well, the implication is that you still accept it?" Hua Manlou looked at Huang Zichao with a look of relief on his face: "Brother Huang, I told you to find a wife as early as the year before last, but you just didn't care... ..."

Huang Zichao said frantically, "Uncle, now is not the time to talk about this!"

"So?" Hua Manlou looked at Huang Zichao laughingly: "Run?"

"..."

"It's amazing, you, an old virgin, can hold on?" Seeing his expression full of flowers, he was shocked: Could it be that this guy's ancestor was named Liu?

Huang Zichao lives alone in a small courtyard, so it's so strange that he can still hold on to this lonely man and a widow who burn firewood. You know, last night a girl who is good at singing and playing the piano suddenly appeared wearing a magically modified red skirt When the bedroom was full of flowers, he couldn't hold it at all...

What wicked clothes!Who the hell wears this?

So Hua Manlou, who is a decent person, of course wants to take it off for her and educate her with a stick, right?

"Uncle, can we talk properly?" Huang Zi was desperate.

Hua Manlou said with a smile: "What do you want to say? You want to say that King Yiduan has a heart of disobedience? You want to say that he will make a big move recently?"

Huang Zichao stared blankly at Huamanlou: "It's... isn't it?"

"Then why don't you go to the capital and talk about it?" Hua Manlou said with a smile: "Go to the court and tell everyone, accuse King Yiduan of rebellion, do you dare?"

"Uh... dare not."

Of course not, as long as this incident didn't happen, no one would dare to talk nonsense, otherwise, the hat of family affection between the Tian family would be dropped.

So what is certain is that Lu Kun and Xu Dacheng must be quite bald now, and maybe they are thinking of hanging themselves.

How could King Yiduan's actions on such a large scale not leak out?

But the problem is that he is just giving gifts around now. Without fully proving that he rebelled, who can be sure that he will definitely rebel?In case someone figured it out temporarily, and you ran up to report it, and when you deal with it and find out that he didn't mean it at all, whoever reports it will die.

The crime of family affection between the Tiantian family is second only to treason - after all, this matter is equivalent to instigating the monarch to deal with his relatives. No matter what the result is, the monarch will bear the name of being mean and ungrateful, which is taboo.

But if you find a problem and don't report it, if this guy really rebels, then what are you Dongchang and Xuanwuwei doing?With such a big movement happening under your noses, are you blind?

What makes Dongchang and Xuanwuwei even more bald is that King Yiduan's gifts can be said to be the kind that everyone has a share in, so who among them is really involved in this unlucky prince?

That's right, those who should be bribed have already been quietly bought, and those who should be arranged have already been arranged, and King Yiduan's continuous gift giving is not to win anyone over, but to protect those people he has already bribed. Common name: muddy the water.

With so many officials in the Manchu capital, where could they all be watching?

So again, we must see the essence through the phenomenon.A heretic like King Yiduan, even if he looks stupid, greedy, and incomprehensible, he can never be a fool.

After all, he is the younger brother of Emperor Guangxing, whoever takes him for a fool is really a fool.

"Have you figured it out?" Hua Manlou asked.

Huang Zichao replied awkwardly, "Uh... figured it out."

"So, Lu Kun and Xu Dacheng should be the ones who are most anxious now. You, the commander of the Xishan Guard, know what you are anxious about?" Hua Manlou said contemptuously: "With this free time, you might as well find a wife."

Huang Zichao opened his mouth: "But... but Uncle, the two girls sent by King Yiduan refused to leave. They said that if they dared to leave my house, someone would definitely take care of them, but staying is not a problem. So... Xiaguan... Xiaguan dare not even go home now..."

This gift from King Yiduan exhausted Huang Zichao physically and mentally - this is considered to be a blow to the enemy's vital strength, isn't it?

"Ah? You said it was a woman sent by King Yiduan?" Hua Manlou blinked his eyes: "Who has seen King Yiduan? Have you seen him? There is no King Yiduan in Xishan, even heretics No, let alone the king?"

Huang Zichao was stunned, and gradually tasted it: "What does Uncle mean?"

"I was ordered by the emperor to guard Xishan. Anyway, I haven't seen any king at all. As for those two women..." Hua Manlou giggled: "Isn't that what I sent you a few days ago? You are an old bachelor. I really can't bear the miserable life of your capable subordinate, so I give you some adjustments, there are many people in Xishan who can testify to this!"

Huang Zichao said in horror: "But Uncle, this...these two girls are really unlucky to be dismissed..."

"Why, do you think your parents are ugly?"

"Uh, not..."

"Not to your liking?"

"Nor...not, but the official has not yet married a wife..."

"Oh, hey." Hua Manlou looked at Huang Zichao playfully, "Xiaodong..."

Huang Zichao suddenly flinched when he heard these two words.

Hua Manlou smiled.

In fact, a group of people from the southeast and northwest stayed in Xishan because they couldn't follow Qi Wanrong during the Pingwo period.But they had nothing to do in Xishan, so they stayed in Xishanwei all day long.

At that time, Huang Zichao chased Zhao Ren all the way to Tianjin. Later, when he planned to continue chasing, news came from the palace, so he had to take people back to Xishan, and continued to practice according to Huamanlou's intentions. I got acquainted with this group of people in the southeast and northwest.

Then, as the boss of this group of female soldiers, Xiaodong had the most contact with Huang Zichao, and then the two saw each other at some point.

What's strange is that although Huang Zichao has intentions, he is not very enlightened. On the contrary, it is the girl who took the initiative to capture him.

But in theory, Xiaodong is Qi Wanrong's dowry girl, and does not match Huang Zichao in terms of identity, and if Xiaodong wants to marry someone, he has to agree with Qi Wanrong, or even Huamanlou, after all, Qi Wanrong is now half a flower People at home, from this point of view, Xiaodong can be regarded as half a girl who is full of flowers, so Huang Zichao's move...

Well, it's basically the same as poaching the corner of your boss.
