Chapter 32: Cao Cao invites
"Something is wrong!" In the Weiwei Mansion, Ye Zhao casually played with the edict sent from the palace, but his brows were kept locked.
"Why is the lord worried?" Xi Zhicai sat opposite Ye Zhao, warming a pot of wine in the wine jug, adding some powder to the wine jug, and sniffing the aroma of wine in the air greedily.
"Find a time to quit this cold stone scatter, that Xiangshi said that you will not live to be forty, if you continue like this, I am afraid that you will really be said by him." Seeing that the baby of Xi Zhicai carefully put the delicate porcelain bottle containing cold food into his arms, Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows.
This cold stone powder is not cheap, but this money, Ye Zhao still doesn't care about it, but this thing is also known as five stone powder, which is made of stone stalactites, purple stone, white stone, stone sulfur and red stone lipid five-flavor stone medicine, Ye Zhao specifically asked the doctor, this thing can make the gods cheerful and fair-skinned when eaten in small amounts, but if taken for a long time, it is not only easy to become addicted, but more importantly, it will collapse the body little by little.
"Don't quit!" Xi Zhicai shook his head: "I have been cold since I was a child, thanks to the help of this thing, if I quit it, how is it different from the walking corpse?" ”
Seeing that Ye Zhao was going to say more, Xi Zhicai hurriedly diverted the topic: "The lord hasn't said why he is worried?" ”
"Your Majesty goes out to patrol the old house, it is a common thing, and it is not difficult to understand that I am accompanied by guards, but if there is chaos today, wolf smoke is everywhere, Jizhou Assassin Wang Fen just wrote to the Black Mountain thieves to rob the counties a month ago, please send troops to expel them, leave Luoyang at this time, even if Your Majesty is whimsical, the Manchu Dynasty Secretary should not blindly praise, but except for Lu Gong and others, no one has stopped it, this division is abnormal!" Ye Zhao frowned.
"The subordinates suggested that the lord should push off this entourage." Xi Zhicai looked at Ye Zhao and said seriously.
"How easy is it to say?" Ye Zhao said helplessly, he would have pushed him a long time ago, but as a guard lieutenant, it was his business to protect the emperor, and now he is also serving as the general of Yulin Zhonglang, Liu Hong is obviously more at ease with him, this is a good thing, but there is also a great risk, once Liu Hong has an accident on this patrol, Ye Zhao will be the first to be shot.
"It seems that the lord has a plan in his heart." Xi Zhicai suddenly looked at Ye Zhao and smiled.
"Hmm." Ye Zhao didn't deny that there must be a demon when things go wrong, but the guess in his heart was a bit exaggerated: "But I can't think of it, if there is chaos today, but the power of the Han family is still there, and it is definitely not the time of collapse, what are these people thinking?" ”
"The lord is both civil and military, and has a strategy, but not everyone can see far-reaching like the lord, the previous lord planned the book for His Majesty to be exposed, which has made the Son of Heaven and the scholars separated, in the eyes of many people, this is the trend of the times, thinking that the time has come, according to the humble position, at this time I am afraid that someone wants to follow Huo Guang and Yi Yin's move." The drama is not salty or light.
"Huo Guang? Yi Yin? Ye Zhao's heart moved: "Yuan Kui? ”
Among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, who could have this energy and prestige, except for Yuan Kui, Ye Zhao couldn't think of anyone else who was qualified to dare to compare with those two.
"Yuan Kui has been in the court for a long time, and he is like a sea of scheming in his chest, and he is not a short-sighted person, so he will never be so breathless." Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "Since the lord can't shirk, he must take precautions, if his subordinates expect it to be true, the Son of Heaven will go out to patrol the river, this person in the dark, if he wants to succeed, he will definitely choose to do it in Jizhou, and this matter may be inseparable from the history of Jizhou Thorn." ”
"Wang Fen?" Ye Zhao took off the sword at his waist, groped for the scabbard, and said with a somewhat complicated gaze: "I really don't want it to be him!" ”
Xi Zhicai didn't speak, Ye Zhao's connections are just that, Xi Zhicai has been under Ye Zhao for three years, and naturally knows that although Ye Zhao seems to be cold-blooded, sometimes he is also very emotional, he did not persuade Ye Zhao to distinguish between public and private, which is also a kind of test.
In this era, the monarch chooses the minister, the minister also chooses the king, Ye Zhao has a bad background, this is a congenital defect, but the day after tomorrow is hard enough, and now he relies on his own ability and courage, and the official worships Jiuqing, to a certain extent, it has made up for its congenital defects, but as the lord of the people, in addition to his identity, the more important thing is to deal with things, Ye Zhao's majesty can make all the generals under his command work together, this is ability, but as the master of the people, if you can't separate the public and private, too emotional, the achievement will be limited after all.
Ye Zhao didn't speak, closed his eyes, and silently pondered his thoughts.
"My lord, General Cao asks to see you." I don't know how long it took, Dian Wei's burly body came in from outside the door and saluted Ye Zhaoyi.
"Mengde?" Ye Zhao glanced back at Xi Zhicai and said, "Is Mr. going with me?" ”
"The lord went by himself, and his subordinates were a little troubled." Xi Zhicai shook his head, he had just used Hanshi San, he was a little too excited, and he was feverish, going out at this time, it was inevitable to make people laugh, and he shook his head at the moment.
"It's fine." Ye Zhao nodded, stood up and walked towards the door, and when he came to the living room, Cao Cao was already waiting there.
"How can Brother Meng De have time to look for me today?" Ye Zhao smiled at Cao Cao.
"I heard that Xiu Ming will go on patrol with His Majesty the day after tomorrow, so I originally set up a banquet to see off Xiu Ming, and Cao specially invited me." After Cao Cao and Ye Zhao saw each other, they laughed loudly.
"Ha~ Did this Yuan originally treat Meng De as a domestic servant?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, this kind of thing, take a picture to tell me, what did Cao Cao say, now he is also a pawn farmer, and He Jin is also a pivotal figure, so it is a bit insulting to let Cao Cao invite him.
"Xiu Ming's words are serious, I want to come to find Xiu Ming, you and I will go together." Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand, although Yuan Shao's family background was prominent, he didn't have the face to treat him Cao Cao as an errand runner.
The grievances between Ye Zhao and the Yuan family, Cao Cao is inconvenient to ask, just looking at his former friends, but now they are strangers, Cao Cao has some regrets in his heart.
"Where to go? It's your Cao family restaurant again? Ye Zhao didn't pursue much in this matter, Cao Cao himself didn't mind, and he didn't need to be a villain in vain, he joked with a smile.
Three years ago, the three of them also had a honeymoon period, and almost every time they got together at that time, it was at the Cao family's restaurant.
"No, Brother Xiu Ming has ever heard of the Drunken Immortal Tower?" Cao Cao's eyes suddenly flashed with an obscene look, and he said mysteriously.
Ye Zhao looked at Cao Cao in astonishment when he heard this, he naturally knew that the new opening was not long ago, but it was a place where Luoyang celebrities gathered, and it was also an elegant place, many of the women in the Drunken Immortal Building were from broken families or the families of some exiled officials, not only with outstanding appearance, but also almost all of them were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
To put it simply, it is a high-end green building, of course, these are not important, the most important thing is that this Qin building was opened by Ye Zhao.
Qin Lou is different from a brothel, women make a living from their talents, that is to say, they don't sell their bodies, and if they are placed in the next generation, they may be said to be pretended, but in this era, it is true.
Of course, if you look at the right eye, Qin Lou does not prohibit the girls from being happy with the benefactor, but they will not force it, but it is also in response to the fact that the wives of later generations are not as good as concubines, concubines are not as good as stealing, and stealing is better than stealing, the more so, it will provoke the Luoyang magnates to rush to it, of course, there are also people who want to break the rules, but behind this drunken immortal building is not only Ye Zhao, more importantly, there is also the secret support of the Son of Heaven behind the scenes, it is difficult to say in other places, but in this Luoyang City, except for Liu Hong, no one can really move any crooked thoughts.
Ye Zhao established the Drunken Immortal Building, with only one purpose, that is, to collect intelligence, so he naturally couldn't stand up, so on the table, it was someone else's industry, Ye Zhao was responsible for selecting high-quality girls for some modern training and how to flirt with the Han, how to shirk after the flirtation, as for the operation, it was Liu Hong's person, and Ye Zhao would not get his hands on the profits, what he wanted was intelligence, so although the Drunken Immortal Building was making money every day, it seemed that it had nothing to do with Ye Zhao.
"Why is Xiu Ming so expression?" Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously.
"I thought Meng De was a gentleman, but today I realized that Ye was wrong." Ye Zhao sighed regretfully.
"Xiu Ming's words are wrong, you are not mistaken, there is no doubt that Cao is indeed a gentleman, but this erotic sex is also a great desire of people, Xiu Ming is so young, but his thinking is so rigid, it really shouldn't be!" Cao Cao sighed: "It seems that Xiu Ming is not going~"
"Go, why not?" Ye Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "You are a gentleman, but I am not, gentlemen have to eat sex, I, a mortal, take the lead in order to prevent a gentleman from going astray." ”
Cao Cao looked at Ye Zhao, his face jumped wildly, and after a while, the two suddenly laughed: "What Xiu Ming said won my heart, since this is the case, Xiu Ming, please go first!" ”
"Since it is Mengde's invitation, since Mengde's brother is invited, please first!" Ye Zhao said politely.
"In that case, why don't you and I go together?" Cao Cao smiled, stood on tiptoe and grabbed Ye Zhao's shoulders and said.
"Just what I want!" Ye Zhao also grabbed Cao Cao's shoulders, and in Dian Wei's strange gaze, he watched Cao Cao walk out of the door with Ye Zhao on his shoulders, and silently ordered two generals to follow Ye Zhao together.
"Why did Yuan Benchu choose here?" On the way, Ye Zhao asked puzzled.
It's not that it shouldn't, but the consumption of this drunken moon building is not low, although Yuan Shao's family is big, but if he just sees himself off, there is no need to spend so much.
"Xiu Ming doesn't know." Cao Cao saw the strange eyes of the passers-by around him looking at him, and withdrew his arm a little embarrassed, Ye Zhao's body is not low, plus perennial exercise, now he is eight feet tall, Cao Cao is only six feet tall, and he is a little fat, if he walks alone, it is nothing, but at this moment, standing beside Ye Zhao, he also forcibly hooked his shoulders with Ye Zhao, this picture is a little weird, as if he is clinging to Ye Zhao, and he seems to be obscene.
"I have recently been infatuated with the girl who fell in love with the Drunken Moon Building, and invited me to wait this time, saying that it was to catch the wind for Xiuming, but in fact I was looking for a girl who gradually went to the wild goose." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Drunken Immortal Building sounds like a big green building, but in fact, there are only four people who are really selling their bodies as artists, Ye Zhao is crowned with the names of Sinking Fish, Falling Geese, Closing the Moon, and Shameful Flowers, and now these four women are also famous in Luoyang.
Falling geese?
Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows and thought for a while: "The appearance of the wild goose is amazing, but it is still surprising that Yuan Benchu would indulge in this." ”
"You and I can just watch, why bother with this." Cao Cao laughed.
The two talked about some interesting things all the way, and after a while, they had already arrived at the Drunken Immortal Tower.
