There is a Changle Street in Yuzhou City, and there are three brothels on Changle Street, the largest one is Cuixianglou. Cuixianglou is one of the four green buildings in Yuzhou City, the name is very cheesy, but the Oiran and the top brand are not cheesy.

Cuixiang Building is full of traffic in front of the door every day, and the seats are full of friends. Whether it is a dignitary, a scholar who comes to visit, or a ranger who travels the rivers and lakes, Cuixiang Lou does not refuse to come, and welcomes guests from all over the world with a smile, as long as you have enough money in your pocket.

Cuixiang Building, divided into the front building and the back building, there is a hidden backyard behind the front building and the back building. The front building entertains ordinary guests, and the back building is full of guests with status and status, and as for the backyard, few people can enter, so it is very mysterious. At night, in the extremely mysterious backyard, there is an elegant and quiet secret room, luxuriously decorated, antique, and there are two guests, who are drinking and talking.

The person sitting on the throne has a face like a crown of jade, and his appearance is dignified, it is Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi, and the person sitting opposite Yin Quan is thin and weak, like an old Xiucai who is not the first, in fact, he is indeed a Xiucai who is not the first, and it is Ma Qingdong, the minister of the state of Kuoguo. People who are familiar with King Yin Quan of Pingxi must be extremely surprised, the lustful King of Pingxi is in a brothel, but there is not a single woman around, it is simply the sun that comes out of the west.

On the table in front of the two of them, there were more than ten extremely delicate dishes, and a small jar of fine wine wells. Yin Quan raised his glass and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ma is a guest from afar, and the widow toasts Mr. Ma with a glass!" Ma Qingdong raised his glass with a smile, and the two raised their glasses, drank them all, and showed the bottom of their cups to each other, laughing at each other.

After drinking this glass of wine, Yin Quan squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Qingdong, looked up and down, did not speak, Ma Qingdong let Yin Quan look at him, just eat vegetables, and looked as usual. After a while, Yin Quan asked with a smile: "Mr. Ma, the widow has something unclear, and I want to ask Mr. Ma! Since the lord of your country, Tiebu, sent Mr. Ma to Dashang, why did Mr. send an envoy to see Yin Guang first, instead of coming to see the widow first?"

Ma Qingdong smiled slightly, picked up a piece of asparagus with chopsticks, and chewed it crunched, and then said slowly: "Lord, it has been a practice for three hundred years to send an envoy to Beijing to ask the Emperor of Dashang to be canonized.

Yin Quan sneered, "Then why did you come to see the widow again, to separate the relationship between the widow and the current saint? If Yin Guang has already canonized Tie Bu as the lord of the sudden return to China, wouldn't you have to secretly return to China and not come to see the widow? Put Yin Guang in a higher position than the widow, do you think the widow will be happy?"

Ma Qingdong laughed, "Lord, the prince wants to raise an incident, and the lord of my family, Tiebu, wants to ask the emperor of Dashang to canonize him, this is all forced by the times, why should the prince bother about these trivial matters? With the help of the lord of my family, the prince will be like a tiger with wings, and the battle for the throne has a few more chances of winning, so why bother to insist on coming first or arriving last? Besides, the prince quietly asked me to meet here, Ma is enough to know the prince's plans! What the prince needs is a helper, so why should he make enemies?"

Ma Qingdong stood up and poured two glasses of wine, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, Ma borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and gave a glass back to the prince! The prince is a very smart person, in order to avoid Dongwei's eyeliner, he specially chose this Cuixiang Building, not the Chunyi Building operated by the palace, which shows that the prince is cautious and resourceful!" Yin Quan didn't speak, he reluctantly raised his glass, and the two of them drank the wine in their glasses.

Ma Qingdong put down his wine glass and said: "What the lord of my family needs is a legal identity, if Yin Guang can canonize our prince of Tiebu as the lord of the country, it will naturally be a good thing." This time the envoy was sent to Beijing because of two plans, one was to get canonized so that the lord of the country could have a legal identity, and the other was to explore the reality of the Great Shang court. The destiny of heaven is constant, only the virtuous live in it, if the prince sits on a big seat, we will naturally be willing to serve the prince when we suddenly return to China!"

Quan shook his head, "The head of your family has first ascended the throne, and I am afraid that the hearts of the people in the court are still unstable. I heard that the three sons of the old lord Tieku have fled outside, how should your family deal with these three boys? And the iron cloth is swinging between Yin Guang and the widow, two speculations, how can the widow rest assured?"

Ma Qingdong took a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and praised: "Good fish! delicious!" Then he said: "Don't worry, the three sons of the iron vault have all been killed by the killers of the Luoyu Pavilion, Tie Hui and Tie Ling died under the killer's knife, and the heads have been cut off and sent back." Tieton was poisoned to death by the killers of Luoyu Pavilion in Yuping County, Shannan Province, and the sons of Tieku have all died, and no one has avenged him, what are you afraid of?"

Yin Quan applauded and sneered: "Iron cloth's methods are ruthless enough! Widows have always liked ruthless people the most, and the more ruthless the means, the better! Come, let's have a toast for the ruthless iron cloth!" The two of them raised their glasses and drank it all again.

Ma Qingdong sighed, "Lord Wang, say a few words below, don't mind Lord Wang." I think that those who have achieved great things must have the amount of tolerance for people, so why should the prince bother with my lord Tiebu about these trivial things? The prince needs a partner now, and the lord of my family also intends to assist the prince, and when the prince is in charge of Ding Yong'an, he can canonize the hereditary replacement of the lord of my family, this is a good opportunity to rush to the door, and the prince must not miss the opportunity!"

Yin Quan was silent. Ma Qingdong sandwiched another piece of fish meat, and said while eating: "Lord Wang, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, just like this braised carp, there is no taste if you don't put salt, and if you put too much salt, you can put more salt and salty, and ginger, cooking wine, vinegar and soy sauce, pepper, green onions, garlic and other things are as indispensable, less as the same, less taste! The most important thing is that the heat is coming, cooking is hard to think, and doing things is the same, all pay attention to the opportunity not to be missed, Lord Wang!"

Yin Quan nodded, smiled and raised his glass, "Then in that case, I wish our two families a happy cooperation! If the widow ascends to the throne, the hereditary replacement of the lord of the Tiebu country is naturally no problem, and the widow can draw up a royal decree now and canonize the iron cloth as the lord of the country! When the gentleman returns to China this time, he can also bring the book treasure back." From then on, the two families will be together!"

Ma Qingdong raised his wine glass high, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "The prince is handsome and handsome, and his vision is outstanding, far better than Yin Guang'er! I wish the prince an early arrival in the Ninth Five-Year Plan! When the prince sends troops, the lord of my family will also send troops to help!"

Yin Quan laughed, and Ma Qingdong drank the wine again, and agreed on the general plot of the number of soldiers and grain and grass that can be sent back to the country suddenly, and the major events were agreed, Yin Quan smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, since you have come to Cuixiang Building, how can you not be accompanied by a singer?" Come on, come on, you and I will not be drunk tonight!"

Ma Qingdong quipped: "When I was still returning to China suddenly, I heard about the prince's romance, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name! The prince's mansion is really beautiful, when I came out of the palace during the day, I saw that the ordinary maids and maids in the palace were more beautiful than the harem of my lord, which shows that the prince's taste is quite high, and I admire it!"

Yin Quan laughed, pointed at Ma Qingdong with his finger, and teased: "Mr. Ma is worthy of the surname Ma, this sycophant is really good, and the widow is very comfortable to be photographed! Mr. Ma praised it falsely, although the maid in the widow's mansion is beautiful, how can she compare to the harem beauty of your lord? Let the top girl of Cuixiang Mansion serve you Mr. Ma tonight, Mr. must have fun!"

That night, Ma Qingdong was drunk and slept with the top Xiyu girl in the secret room in the backyard of Cuixiang Building. Miss Xiyu used all her skills, and Ma Qingdong was simply out of the sky.

In the Blood Shadow Hall of Pingxi Palace, Yin Quan, Wan Deyan, and Cheng Jijia sat around the tea table. Yin Quan swept away the drunkenness on his face, sat on the chair with a radiant spirit, and talked and laughed with Wan Deyan and Cheng Jijia. Yin Quan smiled and asked, "Two gentlemen, can the widow use troops against the Tu Hui and occupy the Tu Hui in order to achieve stability in the rear?" Wan Deyan smiled and looked at Cheng

Jijia.

Cheng Jijia shook his head and said: "Why did the prince say this? Natu returned to China in a miasma, the climate is hot, the people have not yet been civilized, and the people are poor and have few soldiers, so they can be used for foreign aid, but they cannot plot his land industry. Even if we are lucky, we still have to send troops to guard that land, and suddenly return to China The land is barren and the harvest is small, and the road is far away and rugged, and we send fewer garrisons, for fear that the people will change, and we will not be able to hold it. If too many soldiers are sent, it will drag down our great cause. ”

Wan Deyan also smiled and said: "What Mr. Jijia said is extremely true, suddenly returning to such a small country, located in a remote area, the emperors of all dynasties and dynasties only crowned the king of Fan, and did not rule in person, precisely because it is a poor and remote country. The military and civilians of the Great Shang Kingdom are not familiar with the geography of the sudden return to China, and they rush into it, lose their geographical advantages, and it is easy to suffer losses, even if they lose their men and horses, they will lose more than they gain. If you fight down, he will surrender, and when you leave, he will rebel again, and so on and so forth, and he will waste money and food in vain. ”

Yin Quan nodded and said, "When he returned to China suddenly, he first proclaimed himself a minister to Yin Guang and asked for canonization, but Yin Guang ignored it, and then he came back to talk to the widow about cooperation. Therefore, the iron cloth that suddenly returned to China can only be used, and cannot be fully trusted! The widow was worried that when he marched into Yong'an in the future, this sudden return to China would be dishonest and make a stumbling block for the widow in the back, so he had the intention of annexing it. Hearing what the two gentlemen said, it seems that they can only use it, not use it against it!"

Cheng Jijia said with a smile: "Lord Wang, several informants of the Blood Shadow got news from the sudden return of China, the new king Tiebu is just a puppet at the front desk, and this Ma Qingdong is the actual controller! As long as he controls Ma Qingdong, he can control the sudden return of China, so why send troops to it? Take 10,000 steps back, even if he can't control it, as long as he sends people to guard Nanping Pass, he can't enter the southwest road when he returns to the country, and the prince can sit back and relax!"

Yin Quan nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "The widow is very lucky, to have two gentlemen to help, the widow's great cause can be expected!"

Wan Deyan stroked his beard and laughed, "Lord Wang, Mr. Ji Jia is the minister of the prince, a good ruler of the world, and the old man is an idle cloud and wild crane, which can only be icing on the cake!"

Cheng Jijia shook his head, got up and bowed to Wan Deyan and Yin Quan, and said in a deep voice: "Maxima is often there, Bole is not often, my brother is just a country man, thinking that he will be old under Lin Quan in this life! If it weren't for Brother Deyan's recommendation to the prince, my brother would still be farming in Donghu County at this time, and he would be ridiculed every day and angry with those stupid people in the village!"

Wan Deyan also got up, stroked Cheng Jijia's back, and said angrily: "What do those stupid people know? Dou Da doesn't know a lot of words, and he laughs at the uselessness of reading! Even though the husband is in adversity, he should also stoop to his part and wait for the time! Take advantage of the situation to rise, ride the wind, meet the master, and build immortal achievements, in order to seek famous books and bamboo silks, and flow in history!"

Wan Deyan held the bamboo cane in his right hand, twisted his beard with his left hand, and laughed: "Lord Wang, Mr. Ji Jia, the old man still has something to do today, so I will leave first! If I have time another day, I will have a good time with the prince and Mr. Ji Jia, and I will rest when I get drunk!"

Yin Quan stepped forward to stay, Wan Deyan insisted on leaving, said goodbye to the two, and floated away with a bamboo cane, Cheng Jijia saw Wan Deyan go away. Yin Quan patted Cheng Jijia on the shoulder, "Mr. Cheng, please take full charge of the affairs in the house." Mr. also knows that the widow is lustful, and if he has a new beauty, he must have fun with her for a few more days. So these days, there is Mr. Lao in the palace!"

Cheng Jijia laughed, sent Yin Guang out of the Blood Shadow Hall, and said as he walked: "The prince just has fun, it's not yet the time to start the army, and there are not so many things to deal with, thanks to the trust of the prince, the old man should do his best!"

Yin Quan put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the Nuan Xiang Pavilion triumphantly, remembering Wan Deyan's bold words just now, and said to himself: "The widow just likes to chat with readers. is worthy of being a reader, and even bragging is so domineering, it sounds comfortable!"
