I heard that a few months ago, a scholar who was born in a wealthy family of Jiangnan scholars and came to the north to buy this character with 10,000 taels of gold, but was politely rejected by the owner of the four seas.

This proprietor is also a wonderful person, and said in public: "This word is placed on the upper floor of my house, and the scholars and scholars who come here every day, I don't know how many, although I have not been able to see how much I have caught in recent years, but as long as this character is here, my descendants will not be broken for thousands of generations, and the business will not be broken, and they can all receive this blessing, so calculated, how can this ten thousand taels of gold be bought?" ”

One word is ten thousand gold, and there is another good story in the capital.

At this time, the Sihailou was extremely lively, full of seats, and many people gathered around a table, and there was a scholar standing on the table of the Eight Immortals, and the plates and bowls were all trampled under his feet, so that the juice on his feet was dripping, and the hems of his clothes were wet, but he was also unconscious.

He took a wine jar in one hand, took a sip of wine, and the wine spilled on his clothes, his face was red, and his mouth was foaming: "This merit, if you want to say that the dynasty also has it!" When? I think that Zhang Yu, the British prince back then, leveled Annan and gave us 800 miles of Daming Tuo, this credit can be compared to Wu Yibo! But how many years has it been? From Yongle Ye to now, it will be one hundred and fifty years! ”

"This is the work of destroying the country! Float a big white, when float a big white! ”

As he spoke, he poured another sip of wine.

It seems that he is still a celebrity here, and everyone cheered in unison when he said a word, and this scholar was also extremely proud, constantly giving his hand.

But suddenly there was a human: "Wu Na Xiucai, what you said is not right, this Jurchen and the Jin Kingdom have not been destroyed yet!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the crowd, and everyone looked towards the place where the voice was made, and saw a middle-aged fat man in his forties, wearing a satin shirt, standing there, but he was a fresh face, and it seemed that he had come from another place to do business.

"Hey, the dead ones are here!"

"What happened to the last one who dared to talk back to Wang Xiucai?"

"Ouch, can you forget this? Let Wang Xiucai refute it for a full hour, what he said was speechless, his face was red, his ears were red, he was blue and white, he hid his face and left, I heard that he had a serious illness after returning home! ”

"Let's see what you can get from this today, right? I'm not afraid to say it these days! ”

The crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into a commotion, and they looked at the fat man who asked questions with the eyes of watching the show, and there was banter and undisguised sympathy in their eyes.

This feeling made the middle-aged fat man very uncomfortable, but he didn't know why.

He is indeed a businessman who came to Beijing to do business, and he came to eat in this Sihailou, not because he admired Lian Zining's poems, but purely because the place where he ordered the goods was on Zhang Xianggongmiao Street. Because he couldn't get used to the showman's mouth, he couldn't help but refute two sentences.

Unexpectedly, this time it was a hornet's nest.

That Wang Xiucai first froze, and then the whole person turned around quickly, staring at him with a pair of small eyes, like an old cat who had been stepped on his tail, it seemed that the hair on his neck had exploded, and he screamed: "What did you say?" Cutting land, paying indemnities, suing for peace on the table, and claiming to be a lower country, is this not considered a dead country? ”

"Lao Tzu told you that since the Tanyuan Alliance, the Great Song Dynasty has forgotten ......"

"It's like our dynasty, no land, no compensation, no peace, and the Son of Heaven guards the country...... Let's Daming, this is the real spirit of the Heavenly Dynasty and the demeanor of a great country! ”

Next, Wang Xiucai pointed at the middle-aged fat man and scolded, he spoke extremely witty and interesting, scolding people without dirty words, but picking dirty scolding, which made people panic when they heard it, and they couldn't wait to pounce on him and strangle him. But he's not exactly an untechnical insult, and most of the time, he's refuting. Moreover, he refutes it, but also cites scriptures, ancient and modern comparisons, and various historians' classics, which can be said to be easy to come by, and when he says it at will, it gives people a feeling of irrefutable and makes people have to break their hearts.

…,

I saw him standing there talking endlessly, and he was quite like Su Qin and Zhang Yi in ancient times, who crisscrossed six countries in ancient times, and his three-inch tongue could be a million-strong army!

What an eloquent!

The middle-aged fat man tried to argue two sentences at the beginning, but he was defeated in two strokes, but it was just the time of a cup of tea, and his face was blue and white for a while, and he couldn't stay here anymore, hiding his face and walking away, and muttering insulting things like Sven while walking.

No matter what era it is, bullying foreigners can probably arouse the echo of most people, and the crowd suddenly resounded with cheers. That Wang Xiucai was extremely proud, saluted with fists in all directions, and said, "Thank you guys for lifting up!" ”

After pouring a few more sips of wine, he jumped off the table, threw down a piece of silver, and staggered away.

This Wang Xiucai, to put it mildly, is actually not a local, but it is quite close, but he is a native of Daxing County, one of the two counties in the capital.

It is said that the family is also a local wealthy family, with thousands of hectares of fertile land, hundreds of houses, slaves like clouds, and luxury at home. As a result, I don't know which life I made a sin, but it was bad for Zhurong, the water ran out at night, the house was burned to the ground, and the family couldn't run out, and they were all burned to death. Fortunately, this Wang Xiucai was out and drinking with the same year, which is a nice saying, to put it bluntly, in fact, he was drunk at the time, and the little two couldn't wake him up, so he had to lie on the table in the store for a night.

Unexpectedly, he escaped the catastrophe.

After this catastrophe, although Wang Xiucai is not crazy, his personality has also changed greatly, and he has become very cynical and perverse. He sold his family property and came to the capital alone, but he bought a large courtyard and built a stage in it.

is different from others, other troupes are all those old plays, and when they look at it over and over again, they have long been tired of watching it, but he writes the script himself, arranges it himself, and lets those troupes perform.

Not to mention, this Wang Xiucai still has a lot of kung fu in his stomach, and the plays he wrote are all extremely exciting, and his repertoire has a characteristic, which is related to the current situation. For example, a year ago, the Kuizhou prefect was confiscated because of corruption and bribery, and the wrongful judgment was confiscated into the army, and it was only published above the newspaper that it was published. It's like Wu Yibo's battle report of breaking the old camp of Fu Yuwei, and the court has not moved yet, so there is a 'Wu Yi Boqi soldiers descended from the sky, and Fu Yuwei was defeated and went to the same river'.

Such a needle was extremely rare at the time, and the so-called timeliness of the news was a very attractive key. There are a few troupes that have become popular because of the performances he choreographed, and many dignitaries and nobles have invited them to perform, and other troupes have followed suit. The fame spread, so his 'Wang Ji Pear Garden' is also a big hit, and there is an endless stream of people who go there every day.

The price of his garden is not very cheap, and there are many people who go there every day, and he doesn't know how much money he earns, and he is also such a wealthy businessman, but this person has a very crazy side in his nature, and he wanders around the market every day, drinking, quarreling, and having fun.

Seeing Wang Xiucai staggering downstairs and boarding his own carriage, someone shouted down from the window: "Wang Xiucai, what are you going to write this time?" ”

Wang Xiucai didn't look back and said loudly: "Wu Yibo broke the kidnapping horse!" ”

Everyone applauded and arrived: "Let's definitely go to cheer then!" ”

Liyue, Soseki Zhai.

The twenty-sixth son of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty and the residence of Zhu Zaiyuan, King of Liang.

In the backyard of Shushi Zhai, a lotus huā pond, the residual ice and snow, a piece of white, in the lotus huā pond, the lotus huā lotus leaves have dried up, only the residual lotus leaves remain, with the ice and snow, it shows a desolate and lonely beauty, which makes people's hearts suddenly give birth to the artistic conception of life and extinction.

…,

A rockery on the lotus pond, a small fine house on the rockery, the eaves are provoked, it looks no different from the buildings of China, but if you stare at it for a long time, you will feel a little awkward, giving birth to a kind of illusion of resemblance, but it is quite exotic.

If there is an envoy from the Goguryeo Kingdom, and the envoy is an important minister of the court, he will be surprised to find that this place is the same as the courtyard that the king of his own country likes the most and has lived in it for the longest time.

This is Emperor Zhengde grateful to Zhu Zaiyuan's mother for going to the country for a long time, and Zhu Zaiyuan has never even seen the style of his mother's country since he was born, so he ordered people to build it like this.

In the ashram, there is floor heating underneath, and there are incense burners in the four corners, the cold wind is bitter outside, but the inside is warm.

In the north of the house, set up a low fire kang, but is a foot and a half height, but the area is very large, accounting for half of the house, the fire kang is inlaid with a circle of gorgeous and delicate stones, the outside is inlaid with gold and jade and other ornaments, it is very luxurious and beautiful, Liang Wang Zhu Zaiyuan leaned obliquely on a brocade large pillow, the lower body was covered with a brocade quilt, the upper body was exposed wearing a bright yellow shoulder, was lazily leaning there, holding a document in his hand, looking carefully.

There is also a small table in the middle of the big kang, sitting opposite Wanrong, she is only wearing a small white coat, you can faintly see the red belly pocket inside, the jade-like skin, the towering chest is half hidden and half visible, very tempting. Her lower body was also hidden in the brocade quilt, and her long black hair like a mist and waterfall fell down to her hips, with a smile on her face, and she looked at King Liang without blinking.

King Liang read the document three or five times before he put it down, let out a long sigh, and said, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." ”

"What did the king not expect?" Wanrong said with a smile.

"Lian Zining has risen so fast, and no one in the dynasty is out of the right!" Zhu Zaiyuan said: "Don't you know the character of your father?" What a great joy, this time the Jurchen came to descend, it was exactly what he wanted, under the joy of Longyan, the reward was also rich, this time the three words Wu Yibo, I am afraid that it will be changed, and there is no problem if you go up. In addition, his father is also fortunate to him, and there is Dai Zhangpu, the secretary of the military department, to take care of him, and in another two years, I am afraid that these generals in the DPRK and the central government, no one will be able to compete with him! ”

"There are military powers, both inside and outside." Wanrong smiled gently: "Isn't this kind of talent exactly what you need, Your Majesty?" ”

"Yes, with the help of this person, it has helped this king a lot in his great cause of fighting for the throne. Among the courtiers, they can win the help of Dai Zhangpu and others, and once something happens, it is also convenient to recruit him to lead a large army into King Qin. It's just that King Liang frowned slightly and said: "Such a masterpiece, but I can't easily control it, once it is not used properly, if Tai'a hangs upside down, it will hurt himself!" ”

He let out a long sigh: "It seems that it is time to meet with this Wu Yibo and talk about it in detail." ”

Wanrong got up, knelt down to his side, stretched out her hand and gently stroked his face, and suddenly smiled charmingly, like a fox who had become a spirit, and said: "No matter what you say, it is always a great joy for us. The king has been frowning these days, and the slaves and maids are also distressed. ”

After that, the body fell into a very tempting arc, the hips rose high, and the whole person was already like a boneless water snake, and he slipped into the big quilt at a glance.

After a while, a piece of King Liang's crotch was towering high.

King Liang only felt a burst of warmth below, and then the wet and slippery little mouth swallowed it all.

He couldn't help hissing, let out a long sigh, reached out and pinched Wanrong's buttocks, and played with it vigorously.

…,

There was a lot of chirping in the room, and there was a little more yin.

Almost at the same time, King Liang in Shushi Zhai was looking for pleasure and enjoying the service of his tongue, while on the Qinghe Tower of Yanchi Zhipan, King Yong did not have such a good mind.

He and Cui Xiang sat facing each other, their faces gloomy.

"The old man handed over this errand to the fourth child this time." King Yong suddenly slapped the table heavily, and said angrily: "Damn, what's so difficult about receiving an envoy who comes to Hajj?" As long as you are not a fool, you can do errands properly! The old man was not at ease, so he sent Dong Qichang as a deputy envoy, making it clear that he wanted to promote the fourth child! The fourth child really picked up the credit that fell from the sky in vain. ”

"Your Highness, what you said is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless." Cui Xiang said gloomily: "Now look at it, how did he lose face and smash his errand." Your Highness can rest assured that with me, I will definitely not let him be obedient, and I will have to lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot. ”

"No!" King Yongzheng was about to nod, but after thinking about it, he flatly refused: "Don't act rashly, the old man likes the majesty of all countries the most, and he attaches great importance to this matter, haven't you seen what the edict says?" All companies will cooperate, and there must be no mistakes. What does this mean, you won't not know, if something goes wrong at this juncture, the old man can probably guess who has this mind, Jinyiwei is such a mad dog to investigate, didn't you expose our people? This is not possible. ”

"Since the prince said no, then forget it."

Cui Xiang didn't refute, but responded lightly, but there was a strange thought in his heart.

He seems to be just a low-grade eunuch in King Yong's mansion, but in fact, the latent power in his hands is extremely huge.

He was born in the Cui family, is a wealthy family in Shanxi, and is also a good poet and book, literary and elegant characters, and later raised people, entered the Hanlin Academy, studied for the bachelor, and then entered the East Palace for the prince to study. is already in a high position at a young age, and what is even more enviable is that he is by the side of the prince, and then he is a dragon hero, and I am afraid that he will no longer be hindered by entering the cabinet.

It's just that he is also unlucky, and the first time the prince was belittled, he was implicated and claustrophobic together. After the prince was deposed for the second time, the people around him were even more unlucky, Cui Xiang was personally mentioned by Emperor Zhengde as the great crime of 'instigating the prince, the heinous crime', confiscated the family property, and the clansmen were enslaved, but he was sentenced to palace punishment and sent to Fengyang to serve the prince.

suffered this big crime for no reason, Cui Xiang has already changed his heart, and he hates Emperor Zhengde to the core.

And King Yong is also a scheming person, before he was demoted to Fengyang Palace, he handed over all the strong latent forces under his control to Cui Xiang, a henchman. Cui Xiang is also a very capable person, coupled with being ruthless and unscrupulous, in a few years, King Yong's power has not only been completely preserved, but also he has built a quite strong intelligence organization - Feiyu. Feiyu everyone, when it comes to loyalty, I am afraid that Cui Yu is higher than that of King Yong.

It was King Yong who had to use this subordinate, but he was afraid of three points, and the relationship between the two was also a little delicate.

King Yong glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and said: "We are not in a hurry, some of us are more anxious, the old 2, the old 13, I'm afraid they can't sit still." When the time comes, you send someone to leak some wind with their people, the old man spoils the fourth child too much, I can't say it, our brothers have to work together to get the fourth child down first. ”

Cui Xiang responded gloomily, and quietly retreated like a ghost.

Dai Zhangpu made a few meals that he liked to eat, drinking a little wine, eating vegetables, looking at the document of Lian Zining's meritorious service, laughing.

Just smiling and laughing, a few old tears were already oozing from the corners of his eyes.

Lian Zining, Lian Zining, you have made meritorious contributions on the front line and killed all sides, do you know how many sins the old man suffered for you?

…,

Lian Zining's good news really stirred the world with wind and thunder, coupled with Emperor Zhengde's intentional or unintentional pushing, which immediately made the already clueless court situation even more chaotic, and the attention of all forces was attracted to this upcoming ceremony.

-- Dividing line --

Luwangfu is located, it is in the west city of the capital, to say this piece, it was not the boundary where the dignitaries lived, but there was no way, King Lu covered the luxury, and the family of the mother's uncle also had money, when the palace was built, he thought that the inner son gave too little, and he paid a lot of money, so the palace was built extraordinarily large.

However, although the city of Beijing has been expanded by Emperor Zhengde, it is already much larger than Lian Zining's time and space, but with the expansion of the capital, the population is also increasing! No matter how big it is, it's such a big territory, where are you going to build it? There is no way, so it has to be built in Xicheng, where most of the people live in Xicheng, and it is less difficult to demolish the house. King Lu's Mansion was built, and 1,200 households were demolished, as for where these ordinary people went to live - Lord Lu was not unreasonable, anyway, he was rich, and a family threw a lot of money to drive them to live under the city wall.

In a Zhengyang gate, a west gate, because of the many merchants, especially the West Gate, Shanxi, Ganliang and even Xuanfu Datong Mongolian Tartar side of the merchants, all go to the West Gate, so this is also the prosperous area of Beijing. After the completion of the Luwang Mansion, a palace has thousands of mouths, eating, drinking, sleeping, huge consumption potential, daily consumption of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, cloth, brocade, silk leather, etc., I don't know how much. To put it crudely, just these people's daily unclean things have to be dealt with by dozens of people, right?

In the later generations, a very prosperous village and town will often be formed near the university town, and outside the main gate of this Luwang Mansion, it is also a very noisy and prosperous street, and people have given a name, it is called Luwang Hutonger, and its real name is Leopard Hutonger, but few people have said it.

In the meantime, there are many wine shops, it is not early at this time, but the big red lanterns in front of those shops are still hanging high, and the inside is also bright, many diners hook their shoulders and go in, people come and go, some of them drink too much, they stand at the door and hold on to the wall to vomit, and the vague ones can't tell where they are, standing on the street and shooting at the corner of the wall to take out a gun and release water.

The Ming Dynasty had a curfew, called a night curfew, a watch... Beat the twilight drum and prohibit travel; Five more... The morning bell is ringed before the passage is closed. Those who walk on the streets on the second, third, and fourth watches will be flogged forty times, and the capital will be beaten fifty times; Those who commit a night offense after the first watch and shortly before the fifth watch is opened will be given 30 lashes, and the capital will be beaten 40 times. Of course, there are special circumstances, in which sickness, childbirth, death and bereavement can be passed.

Now 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. is the ancient first watch, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. is the second watch, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. is the third watch, 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. is the fourth watch, and 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. is the fifth watch. In other words, you can't go out at more than 7 o'clock in the evening, and you will be beaten PP if you go shopping on the street from 9 o'clock in the evening to 3 o'clock in the morning.

In order to enforce a curfew, every city where the government is stationed has to lock its gates at night and prohibit entry and exit from the city. The keys to the gates were to be given to the magistrates' chambers, and at the same time fences were to be erected at the intersections of the streets, to be guarded by the officials of the government, and not to be allowed to pass.

However, there are countermeasures and policies, although Shuntianfu is in charge of curfews, but they don't dare to come to Luwangfu, because other realms are already empty on the streets at this time, but there are many people here. The restaurants and shops here are more or less related to Luwangfu, and Shuntianfu does not dare to manage them, and the hotel is basically a business of Jiyuan plus a casino, and it is the rotten gambling sticks of most of Beijing City, as soon as it is dark, they gather here and drink and gamble for a night. Wait until daytime to go home, of course, there is no way to go home, so you have to take a detour, go to a stinky pond, or cross the wilderness.

…,

This place can be said to be an outlier, a blessed land for gamblers and prostitutes.

It is also a major source of wealth for Luwangfu.

Just entered a restaurant in Luwang Hutonger, three stores, the scale is not large, but it looks very old, the façade outside has been smoked black, even the hanging plaque is blackened, I can't see what is written on it. A dirty thick cotton curtain hung in the doorway, but it couldn't stop the extremely lively sound coming from inside.

Push the door in, and there is a wave of heat, mixed with the smell of food, the mellow smell of spirits, the strong smell of sweat and even the smell of stinky feet, but no one cares about this. It can be seen that in the lobby on the first floor, there are already tables set up to gamble, the crisp sound of the dice hitting in the bowl, the huge noise of the gamblers who are excited or disappointed at the moment of opening the size, the angry howl of the gamblers who lost their red eyes, and the laughter of the dealer calmly.

Every table was crowded around, some were sitting and playing, some were standing and watching, and some were holding a woman with heavy makeup in their arms, gambling money, while going up and down, from time to time the person in his arms let out a seductive squeamish sound or two.

Obviously, this is not only a casino, but also a leather and meat business.

Qiu Daxing, the Zhengjiupin Ceremony of the Luwang Mansion, pressed his hands on the edge of the gambling table, the sweat on his forehead fell, and his hands were so hard that a few green tendons rarely bulged out on his fat hands. He stared at the bowl in the banker's hand, and finally, the banker's shaky hand stopped, the bowl was upside down on the table, the banker's hand slowly moved away, and laughed at Qiu Daxing: "Lord Qiu, you bet the most, you can open it!" ”

"I'll come, I'll come." Qiu Daxing gritted his teeth, opened the bowl with trembling hands, and yelled as he opened it: "Big, big, it must be big!" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of the dealer's mouth.

It came out, and Qiu Daxing was stunned.

Some of the people around shouted excitedly, and some scolded angrily in shame.

"Small! Haha, I'm sorry, Lord Qiu, your money belongs to us. The dealer grinned and hugged Qiu Daxing over the stack of silver tickets in front of him.

Qiu Daxing's heart was dripping blood, and his fingers trembled like a sheep's madness, but he really didn't dare to go wild here, touched the shriveled pocket, and had to cover his face and retreat.

There was a sneer behind him.

Qiu Daxing staggered out of the casino, and was blown by the cold wind, and suddenly shivered with excitement all over his body, only to feel that it was cold.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and spit it out in a big gulp, and his whole body was weak.

Full of despair. (To be continued.)
