Volume 1 The Hidden Movement of the World Chapter 9 Flattering the Lord and Confusing the Lord
Zheng Sleeve inadvertently got the treasure bag, although she couldn't fully know the mystery, but the word "flattering attack" in the seven hidden was very eye-catching, and at that time she hurriedly dealt with Zhao Chang, the unjust ghost, so she was very worried in her heart, and she didn't want to talk to Zilanduo, she just wanted to calm down, straighten out her thoughts and then explain to him.
The charm refers to the "charm technique", which originated from the ancient era of Luo Shen Mi Concubine, the Shang Dynasty's favorite concubine Su Daji also learned this technique, and in the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Yue Nu Xi Shi also learned this technique. Although Daji and Xi Shi both mastered the art of kitsch, in history, the two were one evil and one righteous, and their conduct was far apart, which was actually the subjective understanding of history by later generations, and had nothing to do with kitsch itself. After Daji, the world criticized more of the arts, and the development of the art was frustrated. It may sound like a kind of magic to charm men, but in fact, good and evil only lie in the hearts and positions of the people who use it, and there is nothing good or bad about it itself.
During the period of the dispute between Wu and Yue, Goujian, the king of Yue, dedicated Xi Shi and Zheng Dan to Wu Wangfu at the same time, and Zheng Dan's beauty, posture and singing and dancing were not under Xi Shi. At this time, a concubine named Mao Yan in Yue Kingdom would use charming, she saw the two, and thought that the two were beautiful, but they did not have the mind to charm men, so they taught the two of them to charm. Zheng Dan was proud of his beauty, but also arrogant and noble, and did not study hard; Xi Shi had big feet and was sickly, so he studied very seriously, and it took him three years to basically master the skills of charming. Later, when he came to the palace of King Wu, Xi Shi completely won the favor of King Wu, but Zheng Dan was depressed because he was not favored, and he fell ill and died soon after.
After the king of Yue Goujian destroyed the state of Wu, the country of Yue was strong for a while, but after the king of Yue, the country of Yue continued to decline, and in 333 BC, King Chu Wei, the father of King Huai of Chu, defeated the state of Yue, killed the king of Yue, Wuqiang, and seized many places in the country of Yue, forcing the country of Yue to pay tribute to the state of Chu, making the country of Yue a small country of second and third rate. When the Yue Kingdom was in decline, Meishu continued to develop, and for more than a hundred years, an independent sect was gradually formed, the Meishu Gate. The reason for this is, firstly, because men's power has been attacked from the outside, and women have been able to take the opportunity to breathe and develop internally; second, because the Vietnamese royal family is constantly fighting for power and profit, and using each other, especially the use of women and kitsch, which has led to the development and growth of kitsch.
The royal family of Yue once used Meishu to destroy Wu, and later tried to use the people in the Meishu sect to restore the country. Yue's use of Meishu is naturally inseparable from the infiltration of Chu, and Zheng Sleeve is the most important figure in Meishu in Chu. Zheng Sleeve is charming and plump, white and beautiful, and with the help of charm, he soon won the favor of King Chu Huai, and his status is second only to Queen Nanhou, the queen of King Chu Huai, and the favor alone is no longer below Queen Nanhou. The reason why Zheng Sleeve decisively killed Zhao Chang was because the word "Meishu" appeared on the cloth, Zheng Sleeve didn't want Meishu to appear in the world, especially didn't want the people of the Chu royal family to know about "Meishu", so as not to leak their identities and harm their mother and son.
Within a few days, Zheng Sleeve thought about it, and felt that although he was favored, his status was not stable, and "the king of Chu has a thin waist", this matter is well known to everyone in the Chu country, but she is plump, and does not conform to the aesthetics of the king of Chu, and what she relies on is nothing more than charm. In the power of the court, she is not an opponent of the Southern Queen, the Southern Queen's internal affairs have Zhaoyang Ling Yin, foreign affairs have Zhaohua Da Sima, and even the recently favored young man Qu Yuan is also her person; in contrast, she has only one Jin Shang Doctor and the declining Shangguan Mo Ao to support. For the sake of her son Zilan's future, she must cultivate her power internally and draw strength from the outside to strengthen her own strength. For a few days, Zheng Sleeve secretly thought about the meaning of these seven hidden, and also asked a few reliable people in the court, but no one knew what these seven hidden things represented. Zheng Sleeve is not only a person in the court, but also a person in the rivers and lakes, she knows that if she wants to figure out the meaning of these seven hidden secrets, it is definitely not enough to rely on the power of the court alone; more importantly, if she can "get three or four", she will have a chance to win the future of her son Zilan. After Zheng Sleeve thought about it, he decided to use the power of the imperial court and the Meishumen at the same time to obtain the "three or four" in the seven hidden and do a great career.
At noon on this day, Zheng Sleeve ordered someone to call his son Zilan, leaving only two personal maidservants by his side, and said to his son:
"From today on, what our mother and son are doing must not be known to outsiders, these two girls are their own people, and they can only let them do something, and they cannot let outsiders participate, can you hear it?"
Zilan looked dazed, waiting for her mother to continue, and replied:
"Got it, Mother!"
Zheng Sleeve took out a hosta from his head, handed it to Zilan and said:
"You take this to the women's market Meifeng Building to find the landlord Danfeng, and let her come to see me today!"
When Zilan heard that Meifeng Mansion was the largest brothel in Yingdu that he frequented, and the owner Danfeng was also familiar with it, she said with a smile:
"Mother wants to pass Danfeng to come, why is it so mysterious, then Danfeng's son recognizes it, there is no need for this hairpin!" said that he was going to return the hairpin to Zheng Sleeve.
Zheng Sleeve looked at him coldly, and said with a "hum":
"Do you want this hairpin, you will know after today, you can take a closer look at it!"
Zilan took the hairpin and looked at it, and there was an image and the word "sleeve master" engraved on it, the image was like a day and a month, and it was like a woman.
"Go and come back quickly, and I'll tell you when I come back!"
Zilan said goodbye to her mother with a hairpin and a stomach full of doubts, and rode straight to Meifeng Tower. Zilan entered Meifeng Building alone, it was noon at this time, it was not open yet, and there was no one. Zilan saw a girl and asked:
"Where is Danfeng?"
"I just got up, I'm dressing up, please wait!" the girl turned upstairs to tell Danfeng.
After a while, the girl came down and called Zilan to go up, Zilan saw Danfeng, and Danfeng said to him with a smile on her face:
"Why did Childe come here at this hour today? Could it be that there is something else?"
Zilan saw that the girl had retreated, so she took out the hosta and handed it to Danfeng to look at, and she didn't speak. When Danfeng saw the hosta, his face changed, and he said to Zilan:
"Your mother called you?"
Zilan nodded and didn't speak. Danfeng said again:
"Now that the 'Charming Lord' has revealed his identity and involved you, I'm afraid something big is about to happen!
Zilan heard Danfeng call her mother "Charming Master", and used the word "command" to indicate the superior-subordinate relationship between her mother and her, and she was even more puzzled in her heart, but she only replied:
"Mother told you to go to the palace to see her immediately!"
Dan Feng pondered for a moment, and then said to Zilan:
"I've been here for three years, I've never seen the princess, and I've never been to the palace, if the prince is not in a hurry to go back, you can wait downstairs for a while, and then take me to see the lord!"
"Okay!" Zilan said and went downstairs, her heart full of doubts, waiting for the mystery to be further revealed.
After a while, Zilan saw a woman coming down from the stairs with her face wrapped in her face, wearing a hosta on her head, which was similar to the one in his hand, and walked straight to him and said:
"Childe, please wait for me on the street!"
When Zilan heard Danfeng's voice, she changed her clothes into an ordinary woman's dress, so she went out and got on the horse and went to the street. After a while, Zilan saw a yellow-faced woman-like woman staggering over, and Zilan saw her clothes and hosta and knew that it was Danfeng. Zilan was puzzled again, and didn't ask much, pulling Danfeng on the horse and going back to the palace. When he was about to arrive at the palace gate, Danfeng got off the horse in advance, followed Zilan into the palace after the horse, and then followed Zilan all the way to Zheng Sleeve Palace.
Zilan took Danfeng into the inner room of Zheng Sleeve's dormitory, as soon as Danfeng saw Zheng Sleeve, he looked left and right, Zheng Sleeve nodded, Danfeng bowed to Zheng Sleeve in a low voice:
"Mei Ling Dan Feng meets the Mei Lord!"
"Meizi Bixia meets Mei Ling!" "Meizi Hongxia meets Mei Ling!" The two maidservants beside Zheng Sleeve also saluted Danfeng, and then went out and closed the door and stood at the door.
Zilan heard it on the side, and at this time she had about a point in her heart, knowing that her mother was a member of the sect related to "Mei", so she stood quietly and observed.
"A few days ago, my son got a day of chance because of a chance, this matter is very important, I need to meet Mei Sheng, face to face to clarify this matter! I want to go to Huiji Mountain to meet Mei Sheng, but Mei Sheng's whereabouts are uncertain, and I am in the palace, there are many inconveniences to come and go, so I need you to tell Mei Sheng first, set a time, so that I can visit her!" Zheng Sleeve said to Danfeng.
"This matter is very easy, please follow the orders of the Lord!" Dan Feng replied.
"He has no matter how big or small he is, and my son is responsible for contacting, so he doesn't have to carry a token, do you hear?" Zheng said.
"Danfeng commands!" Danfeng replied again.
"Zilan, come here!" Zheng Sleeve pointed to Danfeng and said to Zilan:
"You can see clearly, what is the difference between the Danfeng in your eyes and the landlord Danfeng you see on weekdays!"
"My son saw it, and I judged it like two of them!" Zilan replied.
"All along, there is nothing to do in the faction! I sent you to come today, one is to meet people, and the other is to recognize the road, he has something to do in the future, you can come directly to my palace with this!" Zheng Sleeve said and took out a pass token in the palace and handed it to Danfeng.
"Got it!" Danfeng replied with the token.
"Bixia!" Zheng Sleeve called Bixia in and said:
"You send Danfeng out!"
Bixia took Danfeng away, and Zilan immediately asked:
"What kind of sect is the mother? I don't even know my son!"
"Mother didn't want you to know, but now that you're older, there are some things that you need to do by yourself, and you can't hide it!"
"But because of the bag?"
"Exactly! That extraordinary thing may help you in the future!"
"As a 'charming master', what is the status of my mother in the sect?"
"My faction is called 'Meishu Gate'. What is the origin of this sect, and why did my mother get started? This is a long story, and I will tell you about it later. I have seven levels of Mei Shen, Mei Xian, Mei Sheng, Mei Lord, Mei Ling, Mei Niang, and Mei Zi, and my mother is now the Mei Lord. ”
"In this way, my mother's status in the sect is not high!"
"The master is the master of the earthly world, in charge of the affairs of one party, and now there are few people in the sect like the mother! The fairy and the god only practice, do not ask about mundane things, and are not people in the world! The sage also focuses on cultivation, and rarely participates in specific affairs, unless it is important, and generally only asks about mundane trivial matters!"
"I see! Now that my mother wants to see Mei Sheng, it seems that it is not a trivial matter!"
"My son is very smart, and it is for my son's lifelong event!" Zheng Sleeve looked at Zilandao.
"But the 'Seven Hidden' things mentioned on the cloth?" Zilan asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's a pity that I asked Jin Shang and the others, but no one knew! But the more secret things are, the more hidden they are!"
The child also felt that there was something hidden in it, so he brought it to his mother that day. Now that I think about it, my mother disposed of the villain Zhao Chang that day, which was very wise and decisive!"
"You've grown up, you have to learn a little, don't let Qu Yuan and the like go down!"
"Qu Yuan just got a chance, if you want to talk about ability, the child will never lose to him!"
"As for the 'Seven Hidden', there is no conclusion yet, when I see Mei Sheng, I can know in my heart, and I will tell you in the future!"
"The son knows, if the mother has nothing to ask, the son will retire today!"
"Go ahead!"
Ten days later, Danfeng personally came to report to Zheng Sleeve, and he could go to Huiji Mountain to meet Mei Sheng half a month later. Zheng Sleeve then dressed up carefully and prepared to meet the King of Chu.
Zheng Sleeve went out and got on the sedan chair, sitting in the sedan chair with a straight face and looking thoughtful. As soon as he saw the King of Chu, Zheng Sleeve instantly became beautiful and beautiful, delicate and moving, and said with a half-disgusted smile:
"King, you haven't seen your concubine for several days, are you fascinated by a slender waist girl?"
"Hahaha ┄┄ Aifei, I haven't seen you for a day, why has it become a few days!"
"Is it the king, why do the concubines think it's been a few days?"
"I don't see you for a day, like March! It can be seen that the concubine is sincere to the widow!"
"The king is wise, if the concubine can't see the king in January, what is good?"
"Concubine Ai is talking nonsense, right? The widow doesn't go out to fight, why can't Concubine Ai see the widow in January?"
"The concubine didn't want to leave the king for half a step, but yesterday someone came to the house and said that the father and mother miss their daughter! I had already been here once last month, and because I couldn't bear to be separated from the king, I didn't pay attention to it! But the concubine thought about it, the king is the king of benevolence and filial piety, if the concubine treats her parents so ruthlessly, I am afraid that the king will no longer favor the concubine if she finds out! The concubine is in a dilemma, so she comes to the king to find a countermeasure!"
"Ai Concubine, you can't be so cruel to your own parents!" King Chu Huai deliberately said with a straight face, but he thought in his heart: You should leave quickly, so as not to disturb my good deeds!
"Does the king want to drive the concubine away? The concubine doesn't want to leave the king!" Zheng Sleeve also pouted deliberately.
"You can go and come back quickly, and it won't take a few days!"
"The concubine doesn't leave, as soon as the concubine leaves, the king doesn't know which thin-waisted girl he is entangled with!"
"Oh, are you going or not leaving!" When King Chu Huai heard that she didn't want to go, he was anxious.
"The concubine is not leaving!"
"O concubine, your father and mother are also the parents of the widow! If the widow can't fulfill his filial piety by his side, can't you fulfill his filial piety for the widow?"
"The king is telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true, the widow is the king of benevolence and filial piety!" King Chu Huai said seriously.
"If the king is really filial, I have a way to fulfill the king!" Zheng Sleeve actually had a premeditated plan, but he didn't expect to bring the king of Chu in.
"What's the solution? Tell the widow about it!"
"The king will make my father an official and a half-official in the court, so that my father can not only serve the court, but also the king can always be filial, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!"
"This ┄┄ This is also a way!" King Chu Huai felt that something was wrong when he heard it, but he didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to deal with it for the time being.
If you go back with good news this time, firstly, the parents will be happy, and secondly, the concubine's face will be bright, and everyone in the village will know that the king loves the concubine, so the concubine is willing to go back!" Zheng Sleeve looked at the king of Chu and said, thinking that her goal was about to be achieved.
"Well, Concubine Ai is right!" King Chu thought to himself, as long as you are willing to go, it doesn't hurt if I agree to come down first.
"So the king has agreed to the request of the concubine!"
"Agreed! You have to go early and return early, so as not to miss you!" King Chu Huai actually just wanted her to go early.
"The concubine still has to be close to the king for a few days, and then leave when the king is tired of the concubine!" Zheng Sleeve's eyes showed a bright light to the king of Chu, and he knew everything in his heart.
"How can a widow be tired of his concubine?
"Then you can't go anywhere when you come to the widow's palace at night!"
"Of course! Concubine Ai left for a few days, and the widow made up for it before and after!"
"Hehehe!" Zheng Sleeve covered his mouth and smiled: "Then the concubine will go back first!"
