Chapter 16: Goddess of Luo River Zhen Ji



Your Majesty, are you going to Zuixianju?

After hearing the news.

Zhao Gao was startled.

Where is that place?

To put it nicely, it is a place of elegance and refinement; to put it bluntly, it is a brothel.

The great Emperor of Qin went to visit a brothel...

If this matter gets out, Your Majesty will lose his reputation.

After some unsuccessful persuasion, Zhao Gao had no choice but to follow his wishes.

Ying Yuan kept Zhao Gao by his side simply because he wanted this kind of person to display his talents.

For example, tampering with imperial edicts.

But he didn't realize one thing at all.

In previous history, when the First Emperor was in his prime, Zhao Gao was loyal to him and had no second thoughts.

The same is true for Zhao Gao today. Everything is based on the emperor's preferences.

......

The end of the You hour.

Ying Yuan and Zhao Gao came to Zuixianju.

I thought the whole brothel would be rather deserted at this time.

However, it is already crowded at this moment.

at the same time.

Many powerful officials who had spies in Xianyang City also noticed the emperor's movements.

Go to a brothel?

At this point in time?

The enemy was powerful, and although we won a victory on the front line, the crisis was not over.

Now the whole country is in danger.

It seems inappropriate for Your Majesty to go to a brothel to seek leisure at this time.

Your Majesty's actions in recent days have all revealed your wisdom.

How could they do such a thing?

Is there another deeper meaning behind this?

The next moment, they suddenly realized.

Going to the brothel, perhaps Your Majesty has other intentions!

But they still don't know why.

I could only send someone to the brothel to check privately.

As a result, the crowd in the entire Zuixianju became even more crowded.

At the residence of Heshen, the Minister of Revenue.

A middle-aged man, accompanied by his female relatives, came here and had a family dinner with Heshen.

The man's name was Zhen Yi, and he held the position of Shangcai Magistrate.

Responsible for the administration of a county in Xianyang City.

He had a close relationship with Heshen.

It is said that Zhen Yi is very wealthy and has a strong background, resembling an aristocratic family.

In his early years, he obtained the official position of Shangcai Ling by bribing Heshen.

As the Minister of Revenue, Heshen was in charge of the country's money and grain, and was in a high position of power.

The two of them also had a lot of business dealings privately.

After a few interactions, the two sides became more familiar with each other.

Zhen Yi had a daughter who was as beautiful as a fairy and her name was Zhen Ji.

That’s right, she was the peerless beauty who made Cao Zhi willing to write “The Goddess of Luo River”.

Now, I am in my twenties, in the prime of my youth.

She also followed Zhen Yi to Heshen's mansion.

The two families were talking and laughing together.

At first, Zhen Yi wanted to marry Zhen Ji to Heshen's son.

But firstly, Heshen's son was only eleven years old, and secondly, Heshen was struck by the beauty of Zhen Ji, who seemed extraordinary and not like an ordinary person.

It's like a fairy from heaven descending to earth.

Some even said, outrageously, that this woman was no less capable than the queen mother of the time, Daji.

Having a woman like this as a daughter-in-law is probably not a good thing.

Because sometimes, if a woman is too beautiful, she may become a disaster.

At this time, in the pavilion.

Heshen and Zhen Yi sat opposite each other.

Everyone was very pleased to see the families of both sides talking and laughing outside the pavilion.

After all, as long as the relationship between the two families can continue to be good, there will be endless money to be made.

He Shen saw the beautiful Zhen Ji, who was carefully teaching his daughter needlework, and subconsciously said:

"Brother Zhen, you should find a better husband for Zhen Ji as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Zhen Yi had an idea and immediately waved to Zhen Ji, saying, "Come and serve you tea."

Zhen Ji immediately bowed and said, "Yes."

Just looking at her etiquette, she has the feeling of a lady from a noble family.

She carefully poured a cup of tea, held it in both hands, walked up to Heshen, and bowed slightly, saying, "Uncle, please have some tea."

He Shen smiled and nodded, "Very good."

Just then.

A follower brought a message.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor went to Zuixianju.

Since the Zhen family and Heshen's family had such a close relationship, there was nothing to hide about such things.

When everyone heard the news, they all felt that the emperor was too licentious and immoral.

The country is about to be destroyed and the family is about to be ruined. Even ordinary people are a little worried.

As the ruler of a country, how could he have the mind to go to such a place?

Even Zhen Yi said without hesitation: "It is rumored among the people that His Majesty is a tyrant, but I never thought that His Majesty would be so foolish..."

Hearing this, He Shen shuddered, glared at him, and said angrily, "Brother Zhen, be careful with your words!"

Things are different now. Even Heshen still has lingering fears about the Emperor.

After all, in recent days, all the methods used by Your Majesty have been like the spring breeze and drizzle, silently changing the color of the court that has remained unchanged for several years.

Especially the fact that he reused Cao Cao to defeat the enemy's vanguard in the first battle was something he was able to predict in advance, which was truly amazing.

From this we can see that the previous emperor was really just trying to cover up his own shortcomings.

Zhen Yi was just a small Shangcai magistrate and had no influence on the affairs of the court. In addition, in recent days, he had been thinking only about transferring his property to the south.

So no one noticed that the trend of discussion about the emperor in Xianyang City had changed.

So, he blurted out, feeling puzzled: "Huh? What do you mean? In the past, when you talked about His Majesty, you always said whatever you wanted. Why today, you..."
