Chapter 644: The Perfect Match of Magical Powers and Talents
In front of Sui'an Academy.
Gao Qiu turned over and dismounted, straightened his official uniform, and stretched out his belly. He felt that his steady pace had a bit of Qingtian's bearing.
Li Yan finished teaching today's lesson and was comprehending the power of heaven and earth. When he looked at the Imperial City Secretary who walked in to ask for advice, he saw a purple color from the top of his head.
Although it was fleeting, it was quite noble and somewhat dignified.
Li Yan found it quite interesting: "People with a high level of education feel in high spirits during happy events!"
Gao Qiu clasped his hands in his fists and laughed heartily: "Hahaha! This is all thanks to Mr. Lin. I have been really busy these days. After the officials summoned me, I immediately went to interrogate the thieves and then arrest them.
, otherwise I would have come to visit the academy a long time ago and thank Mr. Lin for his guidance!"
Li Yan smiled and said: "If you are more thoughtful, it will be a good thing for the people of the capital if you can catch more cult thieves. If you do more of these things, you will not lose the name of Qingtian!"
Gao Qiu couldn't suppress his smile when he thought that he could become Qingtian because of his background: "It's very, very great! But did Judge Ding tell Young Master Lin? This time it was really shocking. I didn't expect that there were so many cults in the Forbidden Army."
I thought there were only one or two thieves at most, but I didn’t expect that more than twenty people have been arrested now, and that’s far from all of them!”
Li Yan thought that as long as one of the Mingzun Sect could infiltrate one of them, they would be able to develop a large number of them. However, he also said, "You still have to pay attention to the selection. Those people may also slander them when they confess."
Gao Qiu naturally knew it, but the more he took advantage of this opportunity, the more powerful the Imperial City Secretary would become. He immediately said perfunctorily: "Of course... of course..."
Li Yan stopped talking and asked, "Is Gao Tidian coming here?"
Gao Qiu rubbed his hands: "Did Mr. Lin forget? We have made an appointment with Fan Lou and his party. That Lady Cui is an absolute master of sex and art, and she has the qualifications to be the leader of the court!"
He extended the invitation very sincerely, not because he was obsessed with a prostitute, but in reality, Gao Qingtian was not that famous.
The arrest of the traitors of the Ming Zun Cult was indeed a great achievement, but the Imperial City Division suffered heavy casualties and became an excuse to be criticized by the officials.
Gao Qiu was a little confused at first. How could he catch a thief without sacrifice? If Ding Run hadn't saved him, he himself would have been almost murdered!
It wasn't until Zhao Ji made a few remarks in private that he realized that those high-ranking officials didn't actually care about the life and death of the Imperial City Division soldiers. What they cared about was the imperial power of the official family, which could not be reflected through the Imperial City Division.
At that time, the power of a series of law enforcement agencies such as Yushitai, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment was diluted, and they were also subject to surveillance. This was something that officials, especially the scholar-bureaucrat group, would never tolerate.
Therefore, Gao Qiu clearly felt that when he relied on Cuju to rise to the top and had no real talent, the scholar-bureaucrats showed a kind of contempt.
Now that they have taken down the Ming Zunjiao traitor and made great achievements, the attitude of the scholar-bureaucrats has changed to a strong vigilance.
This kind of change, good or bad, made him completely give up on the idea of getting closer to those people. Zhao Ji encouraged him. While he was more devoted to the official family, he also thought of Mr. Lin.
This is an expert who can give advice. Zhao Ji can delegate power to him, but he still has to make up his mind on how to do things. He may have to ask for advice. How can this not lead to a good relationship?
In Gao Qiu's eyes, Mr. Lin is not greedy for money, and he doesn't seem to have much desire for power. He is young and unmarried, so if he doesn't arrange a beautiful courtesan for you, it would be a shame for a man like him who comes from the market.
!
Normally, Li Yan would have had a hundred ways to refuse, but thinking of the induction of his sixth consciousness at that time, he nodded slightly: "Of course I remember, is it tonight?"
Gao Qiu was overjoyed: "Tonight, Mr. Lin invites you!"
Li Yan gave a few instructions and gently rang the bell. The two of them walked out of the academy, only to see that in addition to the horse Gao Qiu was riding, there was also a high-quality horse: "Gao Ti is more thoughtful."
The two of them got on their horses and headed all the way to the Fan Tower outside the Donghua Gate of the palace city.
As an old Bianjing native, the number of times Li Yan came to Fanlou...
Well, this place is no better than Daxiangguo Temple, so there is no way to say whether it is qualified or not.
As the first of the seventy-two main stores, and far ahead of other stores, the wealth and luxury of Fanlou can be imagined. Many people in Bianjing can often go to the Wanxing Trading in Daxiangguo Temple to buy some daily necessities.
, but maybe I will never be able to come to Fanlou to enjoy an expensive dinner in my life.
If you tell a joke about hell, then the people may experience another kind of fanlou.
After all, Wuyou Cave is also known as Ghost Fan Tower.
Fortunately, Ghost Fan Tower has become history now. In this capacity, Li Yan came to the first floor of the capital for the first time. When he arrived in front of Huanmen, he looked at the three-foot-high Cailou, which was more majestic than the gates of ordinary county towns.
The decoration made me sigh in admiration: "It is indeed very noble!"
Gao Qiu said with a smile: "What's the point? I think Mr. Lin's greatness will make this place shine!"
Li Yan thought that this was too much, and he was not the emperor. A sneer came from the side: "What a farm slave, you are talking arrogant words!"
Gao Qiu was praised a little by the people before, and he always walked with a Qingtian posture. Now that he came to the place of enjoyment, his true colors were revealed, and he glared at me fiercely: "Who dares to laugh at me?"
What caught the eye was a group of scholars wearing scholar's blouses and square collars, and the one who sneered was one of the taller scholars.
But seeing Gao Qiu's ferocious face, the group of scholars couldn't help changing their expressions through the light and whispering: "It's Gao Qiu from the Imperial City Division!" "Gao Qiu?" "Bah! What Gao Qiu? It's obviously Gao Qiu.
A vicious dog from the Imperial City who was born in the first city!"
These scholars spoke in extremely low voices, and surrounded by the entrance of Fanlou where people were coming and going, Gao Qiu couldn't hear clearly what the other party said, but every word passed into Li Yan's ears.
Li Yan secretly sighed: "The Imperial City Department is really notorious. In a dynasty like the Song Dynasty where the status of civil servants was too high, it would be difficult for the secret service agency to achieve the same glory as the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Gao Qiu could not hear the voice clearly, but looking at the expressions of these scholars, he felt that there was nothing good to say, so he immediately waved and gave instructions to the entourage behind him.
After a few words, he smiled again: "Mr. Lin, let's go into the building!"
Li Yan nodded: "Okay!"
The two of them formally entered the Fan Tower. What struck their eyes was a patio thirty steps wide. Viewed from a high altitude, five pavilions that resembled the structure of a later Pentagon surrounded the patio, forming an equilateral pentagonal shape.
The five pavilions at this time were all two-story high. Twenty years later in history, Fan Tower was ordered by Zhao Ji to be rebuilt from two stories to three stories. It was higher than the palace wall. Standing on it.
From the third floor of the West Building, you can see the scenery inside the palace, so the West Building was soon closed to the public.
Even now, even if it has not reached that level, the pavilions are still towering, connected to each other by arch bridges, the bridge deck is curved like a rainbow, and there are corridors where the pavilions face the patio.
At this time, there were colorful lanterns hanging high on both the arch bridge and the corridor, and countless slim and graceful women were walking among them. Laughter came from all directions, composing a piece of drunken music.
According to the law, honest officials of the Song Dynasty were not allowed to visit prostitutes, let alone blatantly enter and exit brothels, so the prostitutes in Xiaotianshui Lane had to take the initiative to come over to facilitate the officials.
Prostitutes at the level of young ladies stand on these bridges, greeting guests and selling fine wines. Only those prostitutes who can be called ladies enter the hall to accompany them.
Gao Qiu looked at this prosperous scene and smiled sincerely: "Haha! I must have a good time tonight!"
When he was hanging out on the street, he wanted to come to Fanlou to spend a lot of money more than once, but he could only think about it. Later, he became an old minister of the official family, and began to take various classes to learn about the calligraphy, painting, and stone that the official liked.
, Sumo martial arts, but I had no time, and it wasn’t until this banquet that I found the time.
Li Yan is more concerned about the guests here.
Except for officials who dress in a low-key manner, the remaining merchants dress less and more are scholars and scribes. Especially those who chat and laugh softly with prostitutes are mainly gentle scholars.
In the minds of scholars, lingering in the land of romance has never been something to be ashamed of. On the contrary, it is a very common way of communication, especially for scholars who come to Beijing to take exams. If they have never participated in similar activities, they will be dismissed.
He is regarded as a peasant and a country bumpkin, and is looked down upon by others.
Of course, he cannot be like Liu Yong, who was so well-known in the Land of Wind and Moon that when he failed to pass the imperial examination, Song Renzong couldn't help but said, "This person is easy to drink before the wind and under the moon, so why should he have a false reputation?"
"Go and write lyrics", but Liu Yong, who went home with the idea of "writing lyrics according to the order", obviously did not want to give up the imperial examination. Later, he changed his name and successfully became a Jinshi.
There is only one Liu Sanbian. More literati want to write a poem that can be sung. How can they waste their literary talent on these prostitutes who are entrusted with their beautiful fantasies but look down upon in reality? What's more?
Most of it is pure Wushan friendship.
Gao Qiu also looked down upon these people who were soliciting customers outside, and went directly to the west building: "Mr. Lin, that lady Cui will be singing in the west building. I have already given instructions, and tonight I will appreciate this singer."
With her skills, she might be an oiran in the future!"
While he was working hard to recommend, the attendant who had just left turned back and whispered a few words to Gao Qiu. His face darkened: "No wonder you dare to criticize me, it turns out that he is the son of Wu Juhou!"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Among the group of scholars just now, was there Wu Longtu's son?"
Gao Qiu said coldly: "Yes, there is more than one of them. We are really enemies on a narrow road. This old man has been attacking me the most violently in the past few days. He is also unclean, but he looks fair. How disgusting! Now this old man
My sons dare to criticize me, so don’t let me run into them later, otherwise I will deal with them severely!"
Li Yan originally had no opinion on this, but Gao Qiu and Ding Run joined forces to catch Liu Yanqing. In Wu Juhou's eyes, they were already on the same team, so they naturally wanted to attack together. But what made his eyes narrow slightly was that after Gao Qiu said these words
Then, a flash of blood suddenly flashed above his head.
At the same time, when the talent bar moves, the status of a talent changes.
[Apprentice Death (effective)]
"Isn't this magical power and talent a perfect match?"
