It's tear-jerking! The woman repays evil with kindness and wants to send her enemy straight to the sky!
No! I absolutely don't believe it!
My Zhenzhen, Aiai, and Pity are all fake?! My
infatuated and unrepentant wife is also fake?!
Huang Yong stood up suddenly, and the chair was pulled over by him with a "snap", and it turned over on the spot.
The air seemed to be silent for a short moment.
Feeling Xu Yanmiao's eyes looking him up and down, and His Majesty's eyes looking at him with a strong bloody look, Huang Yong's facial muscles suddenly spasmed.
His reaction was too strange - no! Can't let Xu Yanmiao doubt!
Huang Yong knelt down with a loud bang. The sound was so loud that he even suspected that his knee was broken. He knelt too quickly and his clothes tangled up on him. He stumbled and rolled to the old emperor's feet.
With the desire to survive, Huang Yong hugged the old emperor's calf and wailed, "Your Majesty!!! I know it! Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am really wronged. I only wanted my beloved wife and concubines in my heart. I never thought about it - I really never thought about it -"
The old emperor almost kicked him out.
Why does everyone like to hug his legs when they are emotionally excited?
Those who know know that you want to interrupt Xu Yanmiao's train of thought and prevent him from having any doubts. Those who don't know think that he is so weak as an emperor that anyone can get close to him!
Huang Yong didn't care. He hugged the leg as if he was hugging his own nine clans: "Your Majesty! I have never thought of following the King of Jibei in rebellion!"
[What?! ]
The old emperor was also frightened, and his tone was slow: "...Rebellion?"
Huang Yong tried to wink at His Majesty.
Before Taisun wanted to wrongly accuse Xiao Bai Ze of cheating in the imperial examination, Xiao Bai Ze said this in his heart! The King of Jibei was plotting a rebellion! He also planned to anger the prince to death!
Of course the old emperor remembered these things, he just said: "What does the King of Jibei's rebellion have to do with you?"
[Yes, yes! I saw that there was no deep connection between your family and the King of Jibei! In this day and age, is there still a connection with rebellion? ]
It's all because of you!
Huang Yong, who was trying to link the rebellion to the emperor, said weakly, "How could Your Majesty suddenly come to my house for no reason? You must have known about the correspondence between me and the King of Jibei."
[Oh no! The old emperor came here just to take me to see the happy life of a man after marriage, but he didn't expect that a werewolf would expose himself! ]
[Will Huang Yong really be involved in the rebellion? Eh? No? Wasn't that correspondence eight hundred years ago? And it was a courtesy letter, and it was only once, when the King of Jibei got married. He followed the crowd and didn't go. He sent a letter of blessing and congratulations. If this is counted, then there are few officials in the court who have not been wronged. ]
Huang Yong lowered his head slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's worth it for him to bring this up. He used it as an excuse just to be sure that he would not be really suspected. Now that Xu Yanmiao endorsed him, he felt more confident.
So, he then played the role of a fearful minister, crying vividly about how he was uneasy because the emperor came to visit him, and suspected that someone was complaining behind his back.
- Even if the emperor wanted to go to the minister's house, he should go to the prime minister, the minister, or the duke's house. Why did he suddenly think of him, a doctor ?
Those wives, concubines, and confidantes mentioned before were just something he said to delay time when he was mentally confused.
Now he can't delay any longer, so he decided to accept his fate and try to clear himself. That's why his previous reaction was so abrupt. It
was reasonable and logical.
Obviously, he succeeded. Xu Yanmiao believed it.
Huang Yong knelt there, hugged his nine clansmen tightly, and started howling at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty! I really have nothing to do with the King of Jibei! What's more, I am just a doctor. Even if the King of Jibei wants to bribe me, he will not bribe a small person like me!"
[Ah? The doctor of the Wenxuansi is also considered a small person? He must be a fifth-rank official. He is still in the main department of the Ministry of Personnel.]
Huang Yong: "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu——"
Xu Yanmiao, did we have a grudge before?
Or is it because I was in the position above you, and you want to get rid of me to facilitate your promotion?
——Wenxuansi is actually the Ministry of Personnel, both titles can be used, but if it is written in documents, it is more formal to call it the Wenxuansi of the Ministry of Personnel.
Xu Yanmiao is now a Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Personnel, a fifth-rank official.
【However, Doctor Huang was indeed not in collusion with the King of Jibei. In the local area, it was the Deputy Envoy of the Guizhou Provincial Surveillance Department. In the central government, the Earl of Yingcheng and the King of Jibei had frequent correspondence. The Military Secretary, the one who holds the seal, also colluded with him—he is only a seventh-rank official. I guess he was afraid that his official position was too high and it would be easy to be discovered ?】Huang Yong:
"
Wuwu ... If it weren't for Xu Yanmiao, he would probably have been kept in the dark until he collected the letters from the King of Jibei and was hit hard. The more he thought about it, the more hateful he became. The emperor, whose reign was called Tiantong, had a dark look in his eyes, as if he had returned to the battlefield of the past, with the bowstring already drawn tight. [By the way, is the prince of the King of Jibei still in the capital? ] Xu Yanmiao was flipping through the books and got carried away. Huang Yong's crying voice filtered through his ears. ——In fact, if he looked carefully, he would find that the interaction between the monarch and his minister was very careless. One was crying and wailing, while the other responded with "hmm", "OK", and "I believe you". His mind was completely focused on Xu Yanmiao's voice. [Tsk tsk, this prince of Jibei really likes that courtesan. Besides contacting officials, he just stays with the courtesan.] [But the courtesan can no longer be called a courtesan. The brothel is gone. Oh no, it turns out that the prince took her away as soon as the brothel closed.] [Tsk, I take back what I said before. True love is shit. This kind of true love is not worth a dog. If you really like her, you should have spent money to redeem her before.] Huang Yong, who was holding the old emperor's calf tightly, nodded subconsciously.
That's right, this is shitty sincerity! His sincerity is for Zhenzhen, Ai Ai, and Lian Lian!
When he thought of his confidante who would never come back, Huang Yong cried more sincerely and loudly.
The old emperor looked at his minister with disdain.
To be honest, if it weren't for Xu Yanmiao's sudden appearance, he might not know what those ministers were like in private until his death - after all, who has the courage to show their true colors in the officialdom.
As a result, Huang Yong cried like this...
[Eh? What was Doctor Huang talking about again? Why are you crying so loudly? ]
Xu Yanmiao came back to his senses and turned his attention from the rebellion of King Jinbei to Huang Yong again.
Huang Yong: "..."
Huang Yong: "Wu..."
The old emperor pulled his leg out and kicked him: "Why are you crying!"
I still want to cry!
Huang Yong leaned forward and said carefully: "Your Majesty, please allow me to redeem myself. I think we can make a breakthrough through the courtesan brought back by the prince of Jibei. Men usually won't be too tight-lipped if they loosen their belts, especially when facing the women they like, they always want to show off."
The old emperor was quite surprised to hear Huang Yong say this: "You are indeed attentive."
Huang Yong's lips twitched.
When it comes to my future, how can I not be attentive? If your majesty were to write down, "On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Huang Yong, a doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, interrupted Xu Yanmiao's thoughts, causing more twists and turns in the search for evidence of the rebellion of the King of Jibei", then it is estimated that there will be more twists and turns in the promotion.
The old emperor said again: "But how can you be sure that the courtesan is willing to help us? The prince of Jibei is her favored minister, and her title of courtesan was promoted by him. Originally, she was unknown in the mansion. The relationship between the two has lasted for one or two years, not to mention that now she has entered the prince's mansion and become a concubine. They share the same fate. How could she have the mind to abandon the dark and join the light?"
Huang Yong was stunned.
He dared to use this to save his life, so of course he had a reason in mind.
His reason was -
how many lives are a concubine worth?
If she knew that the emperor had been keeping a close eye on the Jibei Palace, and the whole family of the Jibei King could be put on the beheading platform at any time, she would definitely try to get away.
The prince of Jibei may not be very sincere to the courtesan, so it is human nature for the courtesan to only care about herself when the palace is in trouble.
But... if the prince of Jibei still makes someone the courtesan, this is not a small amount. What if the courtesan is thinking of this sincerity!
[Ah? Being made the courtesan... is it a good thing? ]
Xu Yanmiao began to be confused again.
[The courtesan represents fame, which means that many people will come to sleep with her because of her reputation... In short, ordinary people would not want this kind of treatment? ]
[And...] Xu Yanmiao thought of what she had discovered in the brothel before, and her eyes showed sympathy.
[The more they earn, the more they are forced to keep receiving customers. Many perverts are willing to spend a fortune to bully the oiran.]
On the contrary, ordinary [prostitutes] receive customers normally. Although it is also very hard, most customers are reluctant to pay extra money to play with perverts.
But Huang Yong could not think of this.
His dark eyebrows twitched a few times, and he was obviously holding back his smile. He
was already laughing in his heart: Xu Lang is really a playboy, and he acts and sees things with innocence. There are clear levels in brothels. The higher the level, the more money-making, and the better the treatment. How could he not want to become an oiran?
The emperor's voice suddenly came: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go and bring the courtesan over?"
Huang Yong: "Ah?"
The old emperor raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by 'ah'?"
Huang Yong hesitated and said: "Your Majesty said that there is affection between them..."
The old emperor was impatient: "Just go when I tell you to, why are you complaining!"
Huang Yong hurriedly excused himself to make arrangements, and left the door in a hurry. Suddenly, a thought popped up in his mind - Your Majesty would not trust Xu Yanmiao's judgment more, would he?
Even if the other party did not actually have stronger evidence, he was willing to accept the other party's ideas?
Is this the treatment of a favored minister?
I can't envy it, I really can't envy it.
Huang Yong trotted out to explain things, and trotted back again.
About half an hour later, the courtesan appeared in the Huang family's living room, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She didn't know why these people "invited" her to come over, but since she wasn't afraid of the prince of Jibei, she must be a strong force, and nothing could change her situation. When the
courtesan
appeared, the old emperor and Huang Yong were both silent.
Is this the courtesan? ?
? This woman who looks particularly cold and hard, without the slightest bit of charm, is she the courtesan?
Although they don't go to brothels, they have heard of the "flower rankings", and the "number one" in previous years are all graceful and beautiful!
Could it be that this person is very talented?
That's not right. In the past two years, there have been no poems of the courtesan, nor have they heard of her having any elegant affairs of singing and chanting with literati.
This...
Huang Yong wouldn't have found the wrong person, right? / I wouldn't have found the wrong person, right?
Xu Yanmiao was startled in surprise.
He had been in ancient times for so long, and except for those few days, he had never been to a brothel, let alone met an oiran. But he was still very curious about the oiran ladies that often appeared in novels and on TV.
- This kind of lady is usually stunningly beautiful. The oiran lady I saw before was already very beautiful, and I don't know how beautiful she has to be to be called an oiran.
But now...
Xu Yanmiao's face showed confusion.
After all, she was a oiran, and this lady was undoubtedly beautiful. Her beauty was very European and American, but this was definitely not the general aesthetic of the people of Daxia - and as everyone knows, oiran ladies are elected by customers spending money and voting.
Xu Yanmiao flipped through the system and easily found the trace.
[Oh! The prince of Jibei likes girls with deep facial features and European and American style. He fell in love with this lady at first sight and spent a huge amount of money to make her the most beautiful courtesan, which he maintained for almost two years...】
The old emperor was a little bit unbelievable.
Spending a fortune just to make someone a courtesan? This spending a fortune is a literal meaning!
You are using the money your father used to rebel, right?
As soon as this thought came to mind, the old emperor suddenly felt a subtle sympathy for the King of Jibei.
——Does he know that his son's "love at first sight" is so expensive?
*
The King of Jibei must not know, if he knew, he would have broken the prince's legs long ago.
He also didn't know that Huang Yong was trying to turn his son's "love at first sight" object against him.
"I need to know something about the prince of Jibei. If you are willing, I can..."
A set of threats and inducements was about to come out.
Unexpectedly, the courtesan didn't even hear the benefits behind it, and directly tightened her voice: "Okay! Whatever you want to know, I will tell you everything I know!"
As if she was afraid that they would regret it.
Now, it was the emperor who remained silent.
His eyes were filled with suspicion.
——Why is he so active? Is there a scam?
[Wu Hu! I finally found it!] The college student was so proud: [I told you my judgment is correct! Who said college students are innocent and stupid! I am not!]
[Ha! No wonder he is so active in making trouble for the prince of Jibei! He was originally unknown in the building and had few customers. He secretly saved money for ten years. After finally saving enough money, he negotiated with the madam and redeemed himself. After all, he was not a famous prostitute. For the madam, it was better to squeeze out all the value in one go. 】
【Unfortunately, before she got the contract of selling her body, she met the big idiot, the prince of Jibei, who fell in love with her and waved money, saying, "How can the woman I like not be an oiran?" He pushed her up. 】
【Now that she is an oiran, her value has doubled, and the money she got for redemption is not enough. 】
【Besides, even if it is enough, how could the madam agree to let the oiran leave the brothel? She is a cash cow! 】
The old emperor and Huang Yong were both stunned and looked at the oiran subconsciously.
Only then did they realize that the other party was not tense in her voice, but from her cheeks to her chin. Suddenly,
a word that is not particularly relevant but seems to be quite appropriate popped up in my mind -
grinding teeth and sucking blood.
*
That's a must. The brothel where she works is a high-end one that doesn't accept peddlers. Of course, the madam is not doing charity, so people who don't receive many customers will soon be arranged to go to those dirtier places...
When the courtesan was not a courtesan, she didn't have too many customers, but she didn't have too few customers, just enough to make the madam feel that keeping her was a waste.
It's an exaggeration to say that there are so many carriages and horses, but it's true that there are not as many people as the top wave.
——The people who come are all literati and scholars, princes and nobles. These people basically come to look for "the top scholar", "the second place", "the third place", and then they will also look for "the scholar" and "the historian".
It has nothing to do with her.
Until...
that day, the prince of Jibei excitedly brought her a bucket of pearls and proudly said that he made her the "top scholar".
The Oiran's expression was so devastating that it was no exaggeration to say that the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.
And that stupid prince who deserved a thousand knives thought that she was happy.
At the end of the memory, the Oiran gritted her teeth and said, "Whatever you want to do, I will help you. The only thing I want is to make that prince's life miserable."
The old emperor looked at her and suddenly had an idea: "I can let him enter Nanfeng Pavilion."
"!!!"
I? !
The Oiran's breath stagnated.
God! It was the emperor who called her here! It was the emperor who wanted to deal with King Jinbei!
In other words!
The emperor can really put that shitty prince into Nanfeng Pavilion!
"However, whether he will be confined to reflect on his mistakes or enter Nanfeng Pavilion depends on what he has done."
"Your Majesty! I have something to say!!!"
At that moment, the Oiran's positivity reached the highest point.
I must send you to Nanfeng Pavilion today!
