Volume 2, Temple and Rivers Chapter 35, Zhao Huangshi of the Heavenly Master's Mansion
Where is the most chaotic place in the world? The imperial court, of course.
What's the hardest thing to guess? The human heart, of course.
Zhao Zhengli has been enshrined in the seat of the Yellow Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion for two days, Zhao Huangshi's mansion is not far from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the attic of the back door can see the north wall of the inner city.
The mansion is not luxurious, but it is also from the treatment of the six officials, the courtyard, the attic, the garden, the stone forest and the lake are everything, but it is not as magnificent as the Yu Shangshu mansion, but it is enough for the cultivator Zhao Huangshi.
He moved in that night, the old emperor sent three or five maid servants, Zhao Zhengli gladly accepted the thanks, he knew that the maid servants were the eyeliner arranged by the old emperor, he couldn't refuse, otherwise the old emperor would be suspicious.
Two days ago, when he was enthroned in the palace, Zhao Zhengli got a secret in the conversation of several old ministers, that is, they all thought that they looked like a certain person? It's just that no one wants to mention the details, he can't inquire, and it can be seen from the words that the old emperor is taboo on this topic, in short, this is not good news.
I also heard that Zhao Tianshi had investigated his details with several people, and it was not a secret that he could inquire about this in the future.
Zhao Huangshi officially started his official career.
Let him surprise the "temple and three saints" of the Heavenly Master's Mansion has nothing to do, more than a dozen people are idle in the huge mansion, but fortunately, the garden of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is huge, in addition to the courtyard of the elegant house where all kinds of meditation and meditation, there is a lake of nearly a kilometer, there is a raised martial arts arena in the center, and a nine-story attic is towered by the lake, and the inscription reads "Taoism is one".
The first floor of the attic is for the ancestors of the three Qing Daoists, from the second floor to densely stack all kinds of Taoist classics, there are tens of thousands of strange books such as Danfa, heart law, runes, swordsmanship, etc., bringing together Wudang, Dragon and Tiger, Qiyun, Emei, Qingcheng Mountain, Nanbei Jiangnan Road, and the miscellaneous Taoist classics that circulate in the rivers and lakes, which can be described as a treasure trove of Taoism.
Most of the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master's Mansion are basically soaked in this attic, the attic is very particular about reading, it must be up layer by layer, and the qualifications are assessed once every six months, and the different seats enjoy the resources are not the same, very similar to the strong system of sect religion, the greater the ability, the more you enjoy.
The Heavenly Master's Mansion is not as harmonious as Zhao Zhengli imagined, but there is a feeling of a pack of wolves grabbing food, and being able to enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion are all Tianjiao candidates from all factions and places, all of whom are proud of their peers, and the lowest Taoism is above the peak of the little grandmaster, of course, there are characters like Zhao Zhengli, such as Song Maoling, who took the initiative to ask him in Shu last time, he is a disciple of the old Heavenly Master, and he is also the sixth son of the old emperor, and the current six princes, it is rumored that he is the one who does not like to fight for power and profit.
Even comparable to Zhao Zhengli, who is known as the little celestial man in Qingcheng, of course, does not rule out the age advantage, and there are resources to assist, after all, he was born in the emperor's family, and he studied under the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, even so he has to admit that he has a strong understanding, if he lacks understanding, no matter how much external assistance is in vain.
Zhao Zhengli's current seat is Huang Shi, but with his strength, he will win the seat of the human teacher in one fell swoop in the half-year assessment, which is what the sixth prince Song Maoling told him, because he is the "human teacher" seat.
The seat of the Earth Master has been vacant, according to the Old Heavenly Master, this seat is reserved for the whole world to be a high-ranking Taoist, and his "Heavenly Master" seat is also accepted on behalf of the world's Taoism!
According to Song Maoling, the three saints of the temple are all outliers, the Confucian Academy is a group of nerds who only know how to read and practice calligraphy, and the National Teacher's Mansion is a group of bald donkeys who chant sutras and chant Buddha, fight boxing and practice sticks, and the Heavenly Master's Mansion is what he saw.
As for the significance of the existence of the three saints of the temple, to stabilize the rivers and lakes and get along with the imperial court, the three leaders generally come forward in person, and Song Maoling's only task is to go to Shu a few months ago to test Zhao Zhengli's Taoism!
Zhao Huangshi spent a day bored in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and it was not boring, at least he read one or two Taoist classics, although he was not well-known, the reason was quite right, so he read it patiently.
It is half of the afternoon to return to the mansion, the temperature difference between day and night in the northern weather in the ninth lunar month is obvious, and he still needs a brazier to warm up at night......
Even if there are three or five maids and servants in the house now, the Bi family sisters still clean up the house for the Taoist chief as always, tidy up the living clothes, Zhang Ziya soaked in and outside the capital all day long, knowing that the old emperor had installed maids and servants in the house, and he didn't often go back to the house, so he waited for Zhao Zhengli to leave the house or have a brief conversation and report on the way back.
After two days of inquiry, he found several black markets in Changle Pavilion, and also figured out the rules of Changle Pavilion, it is an organization of cooperation between several giant businessmen, and the news spans Qingguo, Khitan, Dali, and Tubo, almost all over the place, and the power is extremely huge, and it has existed longer than any dynasty.
The most famous of Changle Hall is the "Martial Arts List", "Literary List", "Beauty List", and "Weapon Spectrum", the four major lists, they publish the celebrities on the list on a quarterly and annual basis, and they are also the most accurate statistical agencies on the rivers and lakes at present. Similar industries are derived from the celebrities on the list, such as the latest achievements, whereabouts, and the sale of the same clothing and weapons.
There is a huge information network, naturally indispensable transactions, in addition to the market open side of the trading transactions, there are also auction houses, bright and dark reward orders, the bright reward is to see the light of the listing reward, such as looking for people, doing things, the secret reward is naturally not visible, extortion, robbery, as long as he is willing to pay, he dares to find someone to do!
The last time Qipanling attacked Zhao Zhengli at night, it was a black market dark list reward, and the advantage of the dark reward is that you don't have to worry about being tracked down, you can only see the news and money, and you can't find out the identity of the employer.
It is a behemoth, and every country has acquiesced in its existence, and it will certainly not be possible to eradicate it, unless the countries reach an agreement, which is obviously very difficult to negotiate.
In the afternoon of this day, Zhao Huangshi did not return home, but went directly to the Miaoyin Pavilion in the outer city, and the shiny threshold could be seen that he had not made less money in the past few days.
Zhao Zhengli walked through the front yard of the crowded people to ask for joy, and when he arrived in the backyard, Ji Yanyu was already waiting, she looked at Zhao Daochang with a smiling face, and said interestingly: "Zhao Huangshi's visit makes the small pavilion shine!" ”
Zhao Zhengli looked at the woman in front of him who drove almost every man crazy; Fixedly, he waved his hand and interrupted mercilessly: "Didn't you let Ben Dao show his head in the round?" Quick. ”
Ji Yanyu saw that he was coming alone today, and he was a little more unscrupulous towards the handsome man in front of him, sitting next to him, crossing Erlang's legs to reveal a large piece of fair-skinned and beautiful legs under the gauze skirt, and said softly in a very seductive tone: "Didn't that pervert explain it clearly to the Taoist chief last time?" ”
Zhao Huangshi was stunned, this damn temptation, it took great determination to take his eyes off Bai Shengsheng's thighs, staring at her even more terrible face, his eyes were fluttering and almost hooked away Zhao Daochang's soul, he recited a meditation mantra to stabilize the urge to pounce: "Zhang pervert still has a hidden secret?" ”
She smiled coquettishly: "Maybe the Daoist doesn't know that he sold you, and he made an agreement with me that the Daoist will come to Miaoyin Pavilion three or five times a month in the future, and we will pay the Daoist 1,500 taels of silver every month!" That's a lot higher than the market price. ”
Ji Yanyu didn't mention the condition that Zhang Ziya came to Miaoyin Pavilion to eat meat at half price, this is the reason why she called Zhang pervert!
"......"
The first beautiful man is so angry that he bursts into foul language.
Ji Yanyu's beautiful eyes bent into a crescent moon: "Dao Chang is unwilling? But your friend has already signed a contract for you! ”
Zhao Zhengli looked angry when he saw that she was so happy: "Ben Dao is now an official who eats imperial grain, if people know that he is a man in the Qinglou. Prostitute, doesn't the emperor screw my head off and roll the oil pot? ”
She made a harmless expression: "Who said that you want to make the Taoist chief a man. Prostitutes, as long as you dress handsome and handsome, come to Miaoyin Pavilion to enjoy the scenery, listen to music, and chat with the ladies and ladies about family life by the way! The Taoist will never be allowed to pick up guests on stage, and will sit in the VIP seat throughout the whole process. After speaking, she covered her mouth with a folding fan and quipped: "Of course, if the Taoist chief is a certain Miss Kuotai in the photo, and intends to spend the Spring Festival together, we will not accept any reward money!" ”
Seeing that the happier she smiled, Zhao Daochang was furious, and said threateningly: "Aren't you afraid that Bendao will pounce on you, the first Oiran?" ”
The language was light, Ji Yanyu was not angry at all, but took the initiative to lean her body, and the pretty face was almost attached to Zhao Daochang's face: "Then come on!" Such a handsome appearance Yan Yu is not a loss. ”
The sudden move frightened Zhao Zhengli and almost fell off the chair, causing Ji Yanyu to laugh, Jufeng trembled with the ups and downs of his delicate body, and Zhao Daochang's blood surged.
Ji Yanyu put away her smile and straightened her tone: "Don't feel embarrassed, don't feel embarrassed, not necessarily everyone who comes to Miaoyin Pavilion smells the "smell of meat" to find fun, Qinglou is elegant and vulgar, you can inquire; Who hasn't been to Miaoyin Pavilion inside and outside the capital? Listening to music is a leisurely and elegant thing, do you know how much a VIP seat costs? This store is to see that the Taoist is handsome and outstanding, and he deliberately restores the money for free, and you also know that we can do our business to see the face, and there can be a few more customers of this quality like the Taoist, and the reputation of Miaoyin Pavilion will be several grades higher. ”
"Let me think about it for a few days!"
Zhao Zhengli couldn't make up his mind for a while, if he really wanted to be like what she said, it was not impossible, after all, one thousand and five taels a month, that was a huge amount of money, it was not a little temptation for him, of course, he also had to admit the feeling of being 'molested' by the first Oiran...... It's so comfortable.
If he could, he wanted to turn reactive into proactive......
Oiran Ji Yanyu didn't know what to think about, but from his eyes, he saw that he was thinking seriously, and smiled: "It's okay to think about it for a few days!" But tonight, I still have to bend down to the round and give an explanation to those Miss Kuotai who have invested tens of thousands! ”
Zhao Daochang's eyes were about to pop out: "What? Thousands of taels? ”
Ji Yanyu said indifferently: "Yes, otherwise why spend a lot of money to invite the Taoist to come often?" ”
Zhao Zhengli was speechless, Kaiqinglou is really a profiteering industry.
A few more pleasantries.
Daoist Zhao simply packed up and was about to go to the stage in the front yard, but was dragged by Ji Yanyu: "Are you sure you want to wear the robes of the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" ”
Zhao Zhengli was also confused by her, but he didn't have any clothes to change?
Ji Yanyu beckoned to the servant, and gave a simple command, the man nodded and left, and returned to the inner courtyard after a while, holding a complete set of gorgeous clothes in his hand, a belt, a jade pendant, inner and outer clothes, and a silver-gray robe, and prepared a hosta, a jade bun and a small crown.
Daoist Zhao Zhao was forced to enter the house to dress, and in less than a moment, he walked out in a silver-white robe, with a small jade crown and hairpin on his head tied with three thousand green silks; There are no dead ends to show every inch of handsome silhouette, the white shirt on the inside with a silver-white robe enhances his complexion to be fairer like jade, and the light-colored jade belt around his waist shapes his figure more upright and slender.
Ji Yanyu's eyes lit up with the servant, and they looked at it stupidly for a long time, Ji Yanyu couldn't take his eyes off it, and kept praising him in a circle: "The face is like jade, the world is unparalleled, how can there be such a gap in the same clothes?" ”
Of course, Zhao Zhengli heard the secret words, Miaoyin Pavilion can quickly take out a set of men's clothes, except for the rumored first beautiful man Tian Jing, who else will there be?
Ji Yanyu provoked Zhao Zhengli's chin with the folding fan in his hand, just like the young master teasing the boudoir lady: "You can wear this dress with confidence, the second most beautiful man has been subscribed!" ”
Zhao Daochang's bottom line was broken by this goblin again and again, and he also grabbed Ji Yanyu's slender hand holding a folding fan, leaned over and whispered on her jade-like neck: "Miss Ji is very skillful in pinching men!" Did you also pinch the heart of the Tao? ”
Zhao Zhengli's sudden move Ji Yanyu didn't expect it at all, he was startled by him leaning over, he fixed his heartbeat, and smiled as elegantly as possible: "The Taoist Chief's heart is really incomprehensible, and it is rumored outside that the Taoist likes books on self-cultivation, but how does Yan Yu think that the Taoist is confusing the world?" ”
He snatched the folding fan from Ji Yanyu's hand and played: "How do you say it?" ”
Ji Yanyu was not angry, and looked up and down with a wicked smile: "I only know how to play tricks, but my body is as conservative as jade!" ”
"Ben Dao is not only powerful, but also good at work, why don't you try it?"
"You'd better keep it to yourself!"
