Chapter 81: The Race for the Oiran

When Cheng Jia and Pan Chong came to the city, they didn't expect the city gate to be opened, and the young master Jia Song offered the heads of Ziyi and Gongzixie to welcome Cheng Jia and Pan Chong into the city. Young Fu Jia Song had already designed to kill Ziyi and Gongzixie and put down the rebellion.

Cheng Jia and Pan Chong were very happy, and the result they wanted to see the most. They immediately garrisoned outside the city to recuperate, preparing to welcome the king of Chu back to the royal capital.

When Cheng Jia and Pan Chong entered the city to look for Zhong Wuregret, Zhong Wuregret was looking for "beautiful talents" for the King of Chu in the Qinglou, preparing for them to accompany the banquet. This kind of thing, Zhong Wuregret must have experienced it personally, and the great man said: "Without investigation, there is no right to speak." ”

At this time, Zhong Wuregret was lying on the beautiful woman drinking flower wine. The king of Chu was also so drunk that he couldn't recognize the person who came.

Cheng Jia and Pan Chong couldn't cry or laugh, this King of Chu is really like an idiot, Ziyi They took him hostage, he seemed to be fine, as long as he gave him good wine and beauty, he would follow. quelled the rebellion and welcomed him back to the royal capital, but he still didn't take it seriously, and was drunk and dreamed all day long.

After the young master Jia Song put down the rebellion, he did not deal with the affairs of Ziyi and Gongzixie without authorization, but waited for Cheng Jia and Pan Chong to arrive before mentioning the matter.

Because Ziyi and Gongzixie were the masters of the King of Chu, after the two important criminals, Ziyi and Gongzixie, were executed, and they were not involved in too much killing.

According to the lightest punishment, the men were exiled, the women were enslaved, the family property was confiscated, and the two people's estates were recovered by the king of Chu.

When dealing with the two mansions, Zhong Wuregret made a request to Cheng Jia, asking to pick ten Mei Ji among the two mansions to him, and ask for a sum of money, he said that when he accompanied the king of Chu, in order not to let the king of Chu be wronged, he paid for the king of Chu to buy fine wine and choose delicacies.

The deaths of Ziyi and Gongzixie, in the eyes of Cheng Jia and Pan Chong, are tantamount to pulling out their two thorns in the flesh and thorns in their eyes, and clearing a great obstacle for their dictatorship in the court. Therefore, he generously agreed to Zhong Wuregret's request.

Ziyi's favorite concubine Meizhi has been serving the king of Chu, so she asked the king of Chu for special kindness and sent her to Zhongfu as a slave, and the king of Chu granted her request, although Zhong Wuregret was not very willing, but he didn't want to push the favor of the king of Chu, so he agreed.

After everything was settled, the king of Chu held a feast and rewarded his ministers according to the previous agreement.

Young Fu Jia Songping's rebellion was the first place, but he was originally indifferent and unwilling to go to the royal city, so the king of Chu relied on him, and still presided over the capital, but gave more gold, silver and slaves.

Qu Rong guarded the king of Chu, killed the traitor for meritorious service, and rewarded a thousand taels of gold. She knew in her own heart how the traitor was killed, and after this thrilling incident, she now understood how dangerous the path Zhong Wuregret had taken, and she was very grateful to Zhong Wuregret for her consideration. She originally wanted to stay in Wangcheng to help Zhong Wuregret, but her husband's family urged her to leave, so she had to wait for the King of Chu to return to Wangcheng and resign and return to the county.

Now, the guards of the king of Chu are no longer in the eyes of Cheng Jia and Pan Chong, and the selection of personnel is determined by the likes and dislikes of the king of Chu, so there is no need to enter and exit the guards as when they were first established, everyone must be agreed by Cheng Jia.

In private, Zhong Wuregret wished Qu Rong a husband and children after returning home, and be a good wife and mother, and the thousand taels of gold reward she received was enough for them to enjoy a few lifetimes of abundant food and clothing.

Zhong Wuregret got Mei Ji and gold and silver as he wished, so he was particularly excited at the banquet, and the Kabuki who he selected to accompany the guests and constantly flirted with him, the scene was very strange, which made Cheng Jia and Pan Chong laugh.

Because the king of Chu was in distress and held a wine banquet outside, there were many less so-called palace etiquette at the wine banquet, and everyone felt unrestrained and happier.

Zhong Wuregret was drunk, he grabbed the young master Jia Song and refused to let go, and repeatedly said that today he and the king of Chu were saved, and got beauties and gold and silver, all thanks to the young master Jia Song, he must invite Jia Song to the Qinglou to enjoy a different style.

The embarrassment of Young Fu Jia Song was in stark contrast to Zhong Wuregret's cute drunken state, and everyone couldn't help but be happy. Young Fu Jia Song was forced to have no choice, so he had to follow Zhong Wuregret to a clean green house after the banquet was over.

The great heroes of the counterinsurgency are here, who dares to say that Ziyi and Gongzixie have few disgruntled dead soldiers to take revenge? Therefore, Jia Song's travel was heavily guarded, and when he came to the Qinglou, the guards quickly surrounded the independent small building of the Qinglou, not letting anyone approach, in the building, there was only one musician playing the qin from a distance, and only Zhong Wuregret and the young master Jia Song were sitting in the room.

The table in front of them was full of fruits, vegetables, and wine.

At this time, Zhong Wuregret was not drunk, and said softly to Jia Song: "I will leave Xiangui here, build a secret base in the mountains, and she will train the slave army, this army will be the future of the King of Chu, and you must pay attention to keeping secrets to the outside world." Since many expenses cannot be paid from the capital, I have prepared a large sum of gold and silver for you. ”

Jia Song was a little surprised: "The cost of this army is not small, Duyi can only allocate ordinary expenses, it is still far from your requirements to form an army, I will find a way to use the silver gap locally, you mobilize a large amount of gold and silver, it will inevitably attract the attention of others, this matter is not possible." ”

Zhong Wuregret smiled and said, "A large sum of gold and silver is under your nose, but it's not mine." ”

Then, Zhong Wuregret will scare Ziyi and Gongzixie, let them load the gold and silver treasures into the car, and use their personal guards to rob the money, and tell Jia Song from beginning to end.

Jia Song was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "Unspeakable, incredible." Although he knew that Zhong Wuregret was in dire need of gold and silver, he did not approve of his robber-like robbery.

Zhong Wuregret's reason was much more sufficient than his, he said: "Instead of letting him use this treasure to rebel, it is better for me to use this treasure to benefit the people of Chu State." In the current troubled times, if a country does not have an outstanding ruler, internal strife and strife continue, it will inevitably decline, and thus be bullied by various countries.

War, the country can't let the people live happily, without war, the people are still living miserable, if so, what is the use of the country?

Whenever the ministers of the DPRK and China are involved in politics, they must say: Only when there is a country can there be a home. In fact, I think that there is a country only if there is a family, and if there is no real family, how can there be a country? As long as there is a home, without your country, there will inevitably be other countries.

Of the more than 100 vassal states, only a dozen are left so far, are all the people who have been destroyed dead? No, they still survived as families.

Populace! For the sake of the people to live a happy life, this is the foundation of the DPRK and the Central Committee as officials, and it is meaningless to shout about the strength of the country.

I try to protect the king of Chu, because the king of Chu is a generation of heroes, just because today's foundation is still shallow, the power of the ministers usurped the government, must be forbearing, once it is time to clean up the government, when the royal power returns, I will definitely return my Chu country to a bright future, in the vassal state, proud of the others. For the sake of King Chu's plan, I am not informal, and the young master can not approve of it, but don't be suspicious. ”

Jia Song didn't dare to say anything, and the two discussed some details before Jia Song called the guards and carried Zhong Wuregret, who was sleeping heavily, to his residence.

When I got there, I had Doulan to take care of it.

Under the escort of the brigade, the king of Chu returned to Yingdu. Looking at the return of the King of Chu, some of the people sighed, some shook their heads, some were happy, and some were disappointed .......

However, the happiest is Cheng Jia, after the rebellion was quelled, where did the people know so many twists and turns, they only saw Cheng Jia leading the troops out of the city, quelling the rebellion without blood, and bringing back the king of Chu. The people were not so much cheering for the return of the king of Chu as they were cheering for Chengjia's victory, and in everyone's hearts, there was a desire for the emergence of a strong man who could protect the peace of their families and protect their country from aggression.

This is exactly the situation that Cheng Jia longs for.

The political landscape of the state of Chu has changed, and now there are only two powers facing each other. From being held hostage to being rescued, the king of Chu was completely resigned to fate, and the sudden incident highlighted the cowardice of the king of Chu even more, after returning to the royal city, there were fewer and fewer people who cared about the king of Chu, and a mediocre monarch appeared in the state of Chu. So much so that the loyal ministers in the court who hoped that the king of Chu would cheer up, could only lament: "The king is not in a dream, you are waiting in a dream." ”

As soon as the king of Chu returned to the royal city, Liu Xu, the ancestor of the sycophant, who was later called the "doctor with a beard", gave the king of Chu two stunning beauties, one was a beauty of Wu and the other was a beauty of Yue.

These two beauties are not only good-looking, but also outstanding, especially their dancing skills, and their superhuman softness, when they think of how they would behave on the bed, they will lead people to reverie.

Moreover, these two virgins were empathetic and dedicated their first time to the queen of Chu, and every day, the honey-like warm words coaxed the king of Chu to be inseparable from them all day long.

As soon as the king of Chu was happy, regardless of the objections of his ministers, he immediately named Liu Xu as a doctor, although he had no official position, he had a knighthood.

Zhong Wuregret remembered that he once sent the Qinglou distribution map to the King of Chu, and promised the King of Chu to go out to secretly visit the people, and he would be responsible for all the expenses.

So Zhong Wuregret asked him to send another Wu girl to himself, who knew that as soon as Liu Xu put on the doctor's official uniform, he no longer put Zhong Wuregret in his eyes, but more diligently curryed favor with the King of Chu, which had the momentum of replacing Zhong Wuregret and becoming a celebrity around the King of Chu.

A low-status businessman can actually be transformed into a powerful person. A group of people quickly gathered around Liu Xu, and everyone studied the art of sycophants in depth in a harmonious atmosphere of bragging and fear of sycophants. Among them, there were many literati and writers, who specialized in composing and singing tunes praising the wisdom and greatness of the King of Chu, which were sung in the court.

In their seminars, they even found out many alternative topics, why the fart of the king of Chu is loud and not smelly; The sound of the fart was low, because it was because I heard their eulogy; The toad's body can float on the water because of its large belly and the abundance of water in the Chu State, so it is recommended that the king of Chu practice a toad-like figure and so on.

Since Liu Xu was appointed as a doctor, not only Liu Xu has been currying favor with the King of Chu, and there are more and more people who flatter the King of Chu, and they have been digging out their minds every day to figure out the preferences of the King of Chu, and changing their minds to let the King of Chu eat well, drink well, and play well.

Zhong Wuregret seems to have fallen out of favor.

At the same time, the pattern of the royal city has also quietly changed.

The king of Chu did not go to court all day long, and frolicked with beautiful women in the palace all day long, drinking and having fun. As a result, every time the dynasty was in power, a situation of confrontation between Cheng Jia and Pan Chong was formed. Sometimes, around a small issue, it will be argued for a day, and finally it will be settled.

Because, Ziyi and Gongzixie had just rebelled and been punished, and none of the remaining ministers of the two factions dared to disturb the king of Chu casually, so as not to give the opponent a false pretext. Anyway, the king of Chu was just an ornament, and no one took him seriously, but the battle between Cheng Jia and Pan Chong became increasingly fierce.

It turned out that Zhong Wuregret and King Chu secretly went out of the palace, and they must be accompanied by Doosan. However, after the experience of being held hostage, the master of the king of Chu has been conferred the head, and the companionship of Doosan has become a dispensable thing, and Cheng Jia is too lazy to ask the king of Chu what he does, and mainly focuses on managing his own affairs.

In addition to secretly cultivating his own power in the court, he also made overtures to some neutral courtiers, at least when appointing his own officials and playing in his favor, and did not oppose him.

At the same time, Cheng Jia also showed an unprecedented pro-people attitude, sometimes going to the market to find a few businessmen and listen to their ideas. However, there was a businessman who said in public that when Cheng Jia's soldiers levied the city tax, they blackmailed honest people. Within two days, the merchant was gone.

Although he felt that Zhong Wuregret was in danger of falling out of favor, every time the King of Chu secretly went out of the palace, the person who accompanied him was still Zhong Wuregret, and those who had a heart and eyes did not directly please the King of Chu, but turned to please Zhong Wuregret.

These people can see that they are enthusiastic in the palace, but when they leave the palace, they must find Zhong Wuregret, which shows that the person trusted by the King of Chu is still Zhong Wuregret.

On this day, Zhong Wuregret and King Chu brought the beauty guards to Cuixiang Garden, as soon as they entered, Zhong Wuregret quickly pulled the King of Chu aside, and they hid in a corner to watch the excitement.

It turned out that there had just been an Oiran here, and Cheng Jia's son and Pan Chong's son were fighting for this Oiran.
