Luoyang, Fuwang's Mansion, is splendid, carved beams and painted buildings, and the momentum is magnificent. At the door sat two huge stone lions, grinning with bared teeth, fierce and terrifying, intimidating.

Inside and outside the palace gate, there were soldiers standing guard, all with serious expressions and careful vigilance. A few leaders with sabers in their hands were in charge of the team, walking back and forth. From time to time, there were also patrols passing by. The entire palace was heavily guarded.

In the palace of Yuebin, it is a different scene.

King Fu sat on the platform in the middle of the front of the main hall, with a bloated and fat body of nearly four hundred catties, piled up with big chairs, revealing a fat face.

He was holding the glass in his hand and pouring it into his mouth.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, the guests and staff are seated. On both sides of the stage, Zhu Xingan was also among them, only to see him holding a wine bottle, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, greedily staring at the dancing girl who twisted his waist on the dance floor in the hall.

These dancing girls are dressed in light and graceful gauze clothes, which are as thin as cicada wings and can't stop the alluring white carcass. Body, towering firm breasts. The room is hidden from time to time. Accompanied by silk and bamboo string music, they danced beautifully, as evidenced by poems: clouds want clothes, flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon. If it weren't for the jade mountain, it would meet Yaotai under the moon.

The movements are ambiguous, the dancing posture is charming, and the fragrance is extremely gorgeous, and the desire to capture the past is indulgent, and the visitors are scratching their hearts.

At the end of the song, these dancers scattered in all directions, took the initiative to throw themselves into their arms, and poured wine and food for these people in the hall.

These people have long been tickled and unbearable, there are beautiful women in their arms, how can they miss the opportunity, one by one the original form is exposed, hands and mouths are used together, crazy scratching, playful dancing girls, ugly, unsightly movements, lewd. The sound of waves echoed in the lobby.

King Fu has long allowed those present to have fun as they please, and there is no need to shy away from it. He himself was served by two top dancers, drinking, eating, and relishing everyone to play with the dancing girls, enjoying himself, very perverted.

At this time, a tall, thin man with an obscene face and a thin figure dressed in silk bowed down to King Fu's side.

His real name is Zhao Dongbai, don't look at him like a docile dog in front of King Fu, but to his subordinates, his temper is very great, often black and white, he loses his temper and beats people at every turn, he is quite unreasonable, and he calls him "Zhao Mad Dog" in private.

Zhao Mad Dog is accustomed to seeing the wind and making the rudder, and understands King Fu's mind in seconds, so he is deeply appreciated by King Fu.

He saw that King Fu was in high spirits, so he cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Chitose, are you still satisfied with that girl last night?" She is the daughter of a big family in the city, knowledgeable and reasonable, and her appearance is one in a million, and the villain took a lot of effort to get it. ”

King Fu smiled and said: "Yesterday, the king slept in the thirteen concubines' premises, and before he had time to be lucky, let the celebrant workshop train for a few more days, and have more experience and etiquette, don't be like last time, on the wedding night, he was crushed to death by the king, which ruined the king's interest." ”

The celebrant workshop mentioned by King Fu is actually the palace specially training new girls for King Fu to prostitute themselves. Fun place, because King Fu is fat and clumsy, he has to be skilled in serving King Fu, otherwise, he will be crushed to death, and there are always several girls who are crushed to death every year.

Zhao Mad Dog hurriedly said: "Yes, Chitose, I'll go to tell the celebrant workshop." ”

King Fu was very satisfied with Zhao Mad Dog, and ordered: "Recently, some distinguished guests have come to the palace, quickly find some good goods and beautiful women, preferably with some talents, and it is best to cultivate art and sex to entertain guests." ”

Zhao Mad Dog bowed again and again and agreed: "Please rest assured, the villain will do it." ”

King Fu said a word, Luoyang City does not know how many women from good families will be mutilated by it.

Besides, Yu Xiang's affairs in Pingdingshan have been deployed, and Li Gang is in full control, so Yu Xiang is rarely free to think about his next step.

The next step is to go to Luoyang, Luoyang is where the Fuwang Zhu Changluo palace is located, Yu Xiang thinks about how to face the Fuwang Zhu Changluo. After all, he is a royal family, and he can't make mistakes at will. But Luoyang can't avoid it, otherwise it will leave a dead end, and the new law implemented by Yu Xiang will inevitably lead to the escape of King Fu's enslavements, and they will not listen to King Fu's moderation, even if they don't clash head-on with King Fu, side conflicts are inevitable.

Speaking of which, I have to briefly introduce King Fu.

According to historical records, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, was the third son of Mingshenzong, and his mother Zheng Guifei was favored and wanted to make him the prince, which caused a struggle for the country. In the opposition of the ministers, the Wanli Emperor had no choice but to give in, and the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo was appointed as the crown prince, and Zhu Changxun was the king of Fu. Zhu Changluo is Chongzhen's father.

In order to make up for Zhu Changxun, Emperor Wanli built a mansion in Luoyang, the land of Zhu Changxun's domain, and consumed 280,000 taels of silver, ten times more than the general royal system. Emperor Wanli also sent eunuchs to collect "mining taxes", and the hundreds of millions of money looted were all encircled by King Fu and enjoyed by Zhu Changxun.

Not only that, but Concubine Zheng Guifei used the excuse of being a vassal to put forward conditions to Emperor Wanli to make a big profit for her son. Zheng Guifei proposed: Zhuangtian is 20,000 hectares, Zhongzhou is not enough soil, and the fertile land in Shandong and Huguang is enough. From Yangzhou to Taiping in Anhui, various miscellaneous taxes along the river were allocated to Fufu. A part of the proceeds from Sichuan Yanjing was transferred to Fufu. Please Huai salt 1,300 citations.

What Zheng Guifei mentioned can be said to be to give half of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty to the blessed king Zhu Changxun. These requirements will seriously disrupt and weaken the financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty, thereby affecting the national economy and people's livelihood of the Ming Dynasty, and will seriously shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. However, the selfish Emperor Wanli agreed to this.

The implementation of these measures caused the wealth of the Ming Dynasty to be further concentrated in the hands of a small number of magnates, and some people around King Fu also suddenly became rich. Large areas of land were annexed to a very small number of large landowners, and the output of these lands was also owned by large landowners. The reduction in taxes received by the Ming Dynasty made it impossible for the administrative machinery of the imperial court to function properly.

Shaanxi and Henan encountered drought and agricultural harvests, and due to the above reasons, Emperor Chongzhen was unable to effectively mobilize the material and financial resources of the whole country.

In the beginning, when there was a great drought and the peasants had no rations, they still hoped to be obedient people, and they also counted on the imperial court to provide relief; After the problem of hunger cannot be solved by almsgiving, the hungry people will start to flee the famine, and then become displaced people, and the homeless people will gather together and rob large households; The big households and the imperial court are inextricably linked, and after the interests of the large households were impacted by the hungry people, the imperial court began to suppress the hungry people, and finally led to a large-scale uprising of the hungry people.

After the Fu King Zhu Changxun took Luoyang, he levied violently in the local area, fished the people, looted money, and spent all day and wine. Long-term indulgence in eating and drinking, resulting in King Fu weighing more than 360 pounds, he was drunk and dreamed of death all his life, and drank wine all day long. Female prostitutes. Even though Henan has been affected by disasters for many years, and the people have changed their children and eaten, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king, has ignored it, and still collects taxes and fattens himself.

In the end, Li Zicheng broke through Luoyang, carrying the gold, silver, treasures and grain in the Fuwang Mansion, and thousands of people pulled carts for several days. The property of Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, became the source of military spending for Li Zicheng's army in the following years. It provided a solid foundation for the rapid development and growth of Li Zicheng's rebel army.

It can be said that in history, Henan became the rise of Li Zicheng and the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and King Fu had an unshirkable responsibility.

Yu Xiang is eyeing the grain storage and wealth in King Fu's mansion, if he can get the support of King Fu, the overall situation of Henan can be determined, on the other hand, if he does not get the support of King Fu, if he wants to stabilize Henan, disaster relief and drought relief, it is difficult to make it more difficult, such a large area, and it is a drought for many years, coupled with the huge interest group of King Fu from it, the chaos in Henan cannot be calmed down no matter what.

King Fu is a tiger, whether to sleep with the tiger or to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth. This is the answer that Yu Xiang desperately wants to get. Yu Xiang personally went to Henan to visit in order to find a way to break the situation. Get the answers he asks for to reduce the risk of confrontation with King Fu.

Yu Xiang originally didn't want Miss Xu San to follow, but Miss Xu San said that she had a shop and hotel in Luoyang, first, to inspect the business, and secondly, to arrange for Yu Xiang to travel and stay as a landlord, so that it was more assured and safe. Hearing Miss Xu San say this, Yu Xiang reluctantly agreed to let him follow, but he never thought that Miss Xu San's follow-up would bring disaster to Yu Xiang.

Yu Xiang pretended to be a young man, and originally wanted Miss Xu San to pretend to be a maid entourage, but she insisted on not complying, and insisted on pretending to be Yu Xiang's newlywed wife.

The invincible fist of the gods returned to Xin Shu, the iron pen god abacus Huang Zhen, the iron pai Taoist Zhuge Shanzhen and Liu Xiangyi dressed as servants to accompany them, and the group came to the Xu Ji Side Inn of Miss Xu San in Luoyang to stay.

Xu Ji Side Inn is a famous inn in Luoyang, Yu Xiang and Liu Xiangyi live in one, God Fist Invincible and Iron Pen God Abacus Huang Zhen live in one, Miss Xu San lives in one room, and other entourages live in two.

As the landlord, Miss Xu San led Yu Xiang to visit the Side Inn, which is a two-story wooden frame building, the second floor is the residential inn, and the first floor is the Side Restaurant. Due to the good management, even in the troubled times, there is no space in the inn on the second floor, and the diners of the Side Restaurant on the first floor are weaving, shouting and drinking, and it is very lively.

Miss Xu San took Yu Xiang's arm, triumphant and elated, and asked Yu Xiang, "What do you think of me?" Well-managed, right? ”

Yu Xiang nodded, and praised sincerely: "It is worthy of being a strange woman in the business world, and there is indeed a set." ”

Miss Xu San's face raised, and she said beautifully: "That's, it's not worse than your two ladies, right?" ”

Yu Xiang couldn't say anything now, and he didn't dare to offend this God of Wealth, so he pretended not to hear it, and pointed to the storyteller to divert the topic and said, "Look, this storyteller is good." ”

Miss Xu San is so smart, now she has changed a lot, she is not forcing Yu Xiang to do what he does not want to do, she follows Yu Xiang's direction and looks at the storyteller in the hall. She introduced Yu Xiang to this storyteller.

In order to increase the interest of diners, Side Restaurant also specially invited the best local Henan drum book artist to tell the story during the meal, and the restaurant provided the venue and three meals, the storyteller told the story here for free, the restaurant did not charge any fee, and the storyteller earned by the storyteller belonged to him, so as to attract diners. Some diners in order to listen to books, from time to time to listen to the review of the book and eat, because of the characteristics, some people specially invited the Side Restaurant to eat, so that the popularity of the Side Restaurant is getting stronger and stronger.

I saw that near the private room, a piece of land was vacated, and a lean and thin old man beat the drum with one hand and a splint with the other, singing and saying a paragraph, and his facial expression was just right. There was a girl sitting next to her, she was wearing a blue cloth plaid dress, with big black braids, her appearance was delicate, and she played the pipa with her jade fingers, and she had a tacit understanding with the thin old man, and at a glance she knew that they were father and daughter.

The rap of the drum artist caused bursts of applause from the diners, and those who could not sit down at the table sat in a queue, listening and waiting.

Yu Xiang also felt hungry, and under the leadership of Miss Xu San, he came to a private room very close to the location of the storyteller, which is an independent space, and he can listen to the artist's storytelling more clearly, which is definitely a VIP treatment.
