There is a Changle Street in Yuzhou City. There are three brothels on Changle Street. The largest one is Cuixianglou. Cuixianglou is one of the four major brothels in Yuzhou City. Its name is very tacky, but the oiran and the number one brothel are not tacky.

Cuixiang Tower is bustling with traffic every day, and the banquets are full of guests. Whether they are dignitaries, traveling scholars, or knights traveling around the country, Cuixiang Tower welcomes guests from all over the world with a smile.

Just have enough money in your pocket.

Cuixiang Building is divided into a front building and a back building. There is a secret backyard behind the front building and the back building. The front building receives ordinary guests, and the back building is full of distinguished guests. As for the backyard, few people can enter it.

, so it is very mysterious. At night, in the extremely mysterious backyard, there is an elegant and quiet secret room with luxurious decoration and antique style. There are two guests, drinking and talking.

The person sitting on the main seat has a face as good as a crown jade and a majestic appearance. He is Yin Quan, the king of Pingxi. The person sitting opposite Yin Quan is thin and frail, like an old scholar with no rank. In fact, he is indeed a scholar with no rank.

It was Ma Qingdong, the prime minister of the sudden return country. Those who are familiar with King Pingxi Yinquan must be extremely surprised. The lustful King Pingxi is in a brothel, but there is not a woman around him. It is like the sun is shining in the west.

There were more than a dozen extremely exquisite dishes on the table in front of the two of them, and a small jar of fine wine. Yin Quan raised his glass and said straight to the point: "Mr. Ma is a guest from afar. I would like to propose a toast to Mr. Ma!" Ma Qingdong smiled and raised his glass.

The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. They both showed the bottom of their glasses to each other and laughed at each other.

After drinking the glass of wine, Yin Quan narrowed his eyes and looked at Ma Qingdong, looking up and down without saying anything. Ma Qingdong allowed Yin Quan to look at him and just ate the food, his expression as usual. After a while, Yin Quan asked with a smile: "

Mr. Ma, I have something unclear, and I would like to ask Mr. Ma! Since the leader of your country, Tiebu, sent Mr. Ma to Dashang, why did you send an envoy to see Yin Guang first, instead of coming to see me first?"

Ma Qingdong smiled slightly, picked up a piece of asparagus with chopsticks, chewed it, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, it has been a three-hundred-year practice to send envoys to the capital to invite the Great Shang Emperor for canonization. Although the leader of our country, Tie Bu,

He won the throne from Tieku, but according to established rules, he still needs to be canonized by the Emperor of Shang in order for his status to be legal! Why does the prince need to ask?"

Yin Quan sneered, "Then why did you come to see me again and alienate the relationship between me and the current emperor? If Yin Guang had already consecrated Tiebu as the leader of Tuhui Kingdom, wouldn't you have to return to the country secretly and not come to see me? Will you?

Do you think I will be happy if Yin Guang is placed in a higher position than me?"

Ma Qingdong laughed, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty wants to cause trouble, and our country's leader Tiebu wants to ask the Great Shang Emperor to be canonized. This is all forced by the current situation. Why does your prince care about these trivial matters? With the help of our country's leader, your prince will be even more powerful, and he will be the king of the great throne."

The fight has a better chance of winning, so why bother insisting on who comes first or who comes last? Besides, the prince secretly asked me to meet here, so Ma knows enough about the prince's plan! What the prince needs is a helper, so why make enemies?

"

Ma Qingdong stood up, filled two glasses of wine, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. Ma borrowed flowers to offer Buddha's greetings to the Prince in return! Your Majesty is a very smart man. In order to avoid Dongwei's spy, he specially chose Cuixianglou."

, and not the Chunyi Tower run by the palace, which shows that the prince is cautious and resourceful!" Yin Quan said nothing, 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 our country's leader needs is a legal identity. It would be a good thing if Yin Guang can ennoble our Lord Tiebu as the country's leader. This time he sent an envoy to Beijing with two plans.

Firstly, I want to be canonized, so that the king of the country has a legal status, and secondly, I want to find out the reality of the Great Shang court. The destiny is permanent, and only the virtuous will occupy it. If the prince takes a high position, we will naturally be willing to serve as the prince when we suddenly return to the country.

host!"

Yin

Quan shook his head, "Your king has just ascended the throne, and I'm afraid the people in the court are still unstable. I heard that the three sons of the old king Tiekku have fled outside. How will your king deal with these three boys? Moreover,

Tie Bu is swinging between Yin Guang and the widow again, speculating in two places, how can the widow feel at ease?"

Ma Qingdong picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and praised: "Good fish! Delicious!" Then he said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Tieku's three sons have been killed by the killers of Luoyu Pavilion.

Tie Hui and Tie Ling died under the killer's knife, and their heads were cut off and sent back. Tie Dun was poisoned to death by the Luo Yu Pavilion killer in Yuping County, Shannan Road. Tie Ku's sons were all dead, and no one gave him anything.

Revenge, what else are you afraid of?"

Yin Quan applauded and sneered: "Tiebu's methods are cruel enough! I always like ruthless people the most, and the crueler the methods, the better! Come, let's drink to the ruthless Tiebu!" The two raised their glasses and drank.

Ma Qingdong sighed, "Your Majesty, please say a few words, Your Majesty, please don't mind me. I believe that people who achieve great things must be tolerated. Why would Your Majesty bother with my country's leader, Tie Bu, over such trivial matters? Your Majesty needs a partner now.

, the head of our country also intends to assist the prince, and when the prince decides to make peace, he can just ennoble the head of our country hereditary and replace him. This is a good opportunity that has been rushed to the door, and the prince must not miss it!"

Yin Quan was silent. Ma Qingdong took another piece of fish and said while eating: "Your Majesty, running a big country is like cooking small dishes, just like this braised carp. Without salt, it will be salty. If you add too much salt, it will be salty. Shredded ginger

, cooking wine, vinegar and soy sauce, pepper, onions, garlic and other ingredients are all indispensable. If one thing is missing, the taste will be missing! The most important thing is that the heat is still there. Cooking requires a lot of thought, and the same goes for doing things. It all depends on timing.

Don’t lose it, Your Majesty!”

Yin Quan nodded, raised his glass with a smile, "In that case, I wish our two families a happy cooperation! If I ascend to the throne, the hereditary replacement of the leader of Tiebu Kingdom will naturally be no problem, and I can do it now

First, draw up a royal edict to confer Tiebu as the Lord of Tuhui! When sir returns to the country this time, he can take the treasures back with him. From now on, the two families will share weal and woe!"

Ma Qingdong raised his wine glass high and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Your Majesty is handsome, handsome, and has outstanding vision, far better than Yin Guang's children! I wish you an early arrival in the Ninth Five-Year Plan! When your Majesty sends troops, the master of our country will also send troops to help!"

"

Yin Quan laughed, and he and Ma Qingdong drank the wine in one gulp. They also agreed on the number of soldiers that could be sent back to the country as well as the general plot of food and fodder. After major matters were agreed upon, Yin Quan said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, since Cuixiang is here

Lou, how can we not be accompanied by a singer? Come on, come on, you and I will not come home until we are drunk tonight!"

Ma Qingdong joked: "When I returned home suddenly, I heard about the prince's romance. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved! There are so many beauties in the prince's palace. When I came out of the palace during the day, I saw ordinary maids and maids in the palace.

They are all even more beautiful than the harem of my king, which shows that the prince has very good taste, I admire you!"

Yin Quan laughed loudly, pointed at Ma Qingdong, and joked: "Mr. Ma deserves the surname Ma. The flattery is so good. I feel very comfortable being photographed! Mr. Ma was so complimentary. Although the maid in my house is beautiful,

How can she be compared with the beauties of your lord’s harem? Let Miss Xiyu, the number one in Cuixiang Tower, serve you tonight, Mr. Ma, and you must have a great time!”

That night, Ma Qingdong was so drunk that he slept with the top girl Xiyu in the secret room in the backyard of Cuixiang Tower. The girl Xiyu tried her best to please her, and Ma Qingdong was so out of his mind.

In the Blood Shadow Hall of Pingxi Palace, Yin Quan, Wan Deyan, and Cheng Jijia sat around the tea table. Yin Quan wiped away the drunkenness on his face, sat on the chair in high spirits, chatting and laughing with Wan Deyan and Cheng Jijia. Yin Quan laughed.

He asked: "Two gentlemen, can I use troops against Tuhuiguo and occupy Tuhuiguo to achieve stability in the rear?" Wan Deyan smiled and said nothing, looking at Cheng Cheng.

Jijia.

Cheng Jijia shook his head and said: "Why did the prince say this? The Tuhui country is in a miasmatic land, with a hot climate, uncivilized people, poor people and few soldiers. It can be used as foreign aid, but it cannot be used to plot his land and industry. Even if he is lucky enough to win,

We also need to send troops to guard that land. The land back home is barren and the harvest is small, and the road is long and rugged. We have sent fewer troops to garrison for fear of civil unrest and cannot hold it. If we send too many troops, it will hinder our ability.

great cause."

Wan Deyan also smiled and said: "What Mr. Jijia said is absolutely true. A small country like Tuhui is located in a remote place. The emperors of all dynasties only granted the title of Tibetan king and did not rule it personally. This is precisely because it is a remote and remote place. It is not of my race.

, the people are not submissive to education, and they are purely useless. The soldiers and civilians of the Great Shang State are not familiar with the geography of the sudden return country, and they rush in and lose the geographical advantage. It is easy to suffer losses. Even if they lose men and horses, the gain is not worth the loss. If you defeat it, it will surrender.

When you leave, he rebels again, and so on, and fighting him is a waste of money and food."

Yin Quan nodded and said, "Tu Huiguo first asked Yin Guang to profess his vassalship and request for canonization. Yin Guang ignored him, and then came back to talk to me about cooperation. Therefore, Tu Huiguo's Tiebu can only be used and cannot be fully trusted! I am worried about the future invasion of Yong'an.

At that time, this sudden return to the country was dishonest and caused a stumbling block for us behind, so I started to think of annexing it. From what you two gentlemen said, it seems that we can only use it, but not use troops!"

Cheng Jijia chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, several informants of Blood Shadow got news from Tu Hui that the new king Tiebu is just a puppet in the front office, and Ma Qingdong is the actual controller! As long as Ma Qingdong is controlled, he can control Tu

Why bother to send troops to it when we return home? Even if we can't control it even if we retreat ten thousand steps, as long as we send people to guard Nanping Pass, if we suddenly return home, we won't be able to enter the Southwest Road, so the prince can sit back and relax!"

Yin Quan nodded, stood up and said with a smile: "I am very lucky to have these two gentlemen to help me. I can expect great success!"

Wan Deyan stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ji Jia is your loyal minister and a good leader in governing the world. This old man is just an idle cloud and a wild crane. He can only be the icing on the cake!"

Cheng Jijia shook his head, stood up, bowed to Wan Deyan and Yin Quan, and said in a deep voice: "Thousand-mile horses are always there, but bole is not always there. My brother is just a countryman who thinks that he will be older than Lin Quan in this life! If it weren't for brother Deyan

Recommend to the prince, my brother must still be farming in Donghu County at this time, being laughed at every day, and being angry with the fools in the village!"

Wan Deyan also stood up, stroked Cheng Jijia's back, and said with emotion: "What do those fools know? Dou Da can't read a basket of words, and he still laughs at the uselessness of reading! Even if a man is in adversity, he should bow down to his duty and wait for the good times.

! Take advantage of the situation, ride on the wind, meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, and achieve unparalleled achievements, so that famous books, bamboos and silks can be recorded in the history of history!"

Wan Deyan held the bamboo stick in his right hand and twirled his beard with his left hand. He laughed and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ji Jia, I have something to do today, so I'll take my leave now! When I have time another day, I'll have a drink with the Prince and Mr. Ji Jia."

, get drunk and then rest!”

Yin Quan stepped forward to persuade Wan Deyan to stay, but Wan Deyan insisted on leaving. He said goodbye to the two of them and floated away holding the bamboo stick. Cheng Jijia watched Wan Deyan walk away. Yin Quan patted Cheng Jijia on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Cheng, the man in the mansion

Sir, please handle the matter with your full authority. Sir, you also know that I am a lustful person, and if I find a new beauty, I must have fun with her for a few more days. So these days, Mr. Lao will be responsible for all matters in the palace!"

Cheng Jijia laughed and sent Yin Guang away from the Blood Shadow Hall. As he walked, he said: "Your Majesty just wants to have fun. It's not the time to raise the army yet, and there are not so many things to deal with. Thanks to Your Majesty's trust, I will do my best!"

Yin Quan put his hands behind his back and walked towards Nuanxiang Pavilion triumphantly. Thinking of Wan Deyan's heroic words just now, he said to himself: "I just like to chat with scholars. I am worthy of being a scholar. Even bragging is so domineering.
