"Your Highness, in front is the Incense Pavilion!"
Xiao Shunzi followed Qin Wei on horseback and pointed to a pavilion in front of him.
Fenxiang Pavilion is the most prosperous area in Kyoto. Qin Wei looked up and saw red walls, cornices, and glazed tiles exposed among the lush green trees. On top of the pavilions, there were countless red gauze flying in the wind.
Just looking at it from a distance, Qin Wei was a little shocked by this luxurious and eroded building.
"What a burning incense pavilion!"
Qin Wei couldn't help but admired.
As the most prosperous area in Kyoto, Qin Wei has naturally heard of it, but this is his first time here and the first time he has seen this magnificent scenery with his own eyes.
Even my predecessor had never been to this Incense Pavilion.
Because this Fenxiang Pavilion is a land of wind, flowers, snow and moon.
It’s called the Land of Fireworks.
Commonly known as a brothel.
The literati and poets in Dali like the land of fireworks, but the warriors are strong-blooded and also like this place of fireworks.
It was only the morning, and the pavilions of Fenxiang Pavilion were crowded with beauties and singers. The streets were filled with a group of handsome young talents. They were calling friends, in small groups, and they were extremely familiar.
Enter this land of fireworks.
Qin Wei looked at this grand occasion and couldn't help laughing.
"After today, the young talents in Kyoto will probably hate me to death!"
"Why do they hate His Highness?" Xiao Shunzi asked doubtfully.
"Because I want to destroy the source of their happiness!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"The source of happiness!" Xiao Shunzi was even more confused.
Qin Wei glanced sideways at him and smiled.
Xiao Shunzi looked puzzled.
On the contrary, Hong Fei and Cui Shimao next to him showed expressions that all men understand.
"Let's do it!"
Qin Wei ordered the people behind him.
"Here!" everyone responded.
The next moment, a dark crowd of soldiers poured into the Incense Pavilion.
Fenxiang Pavilion is not a pavilion, but refers to more than a dozen pavilions around it. Each pavilion here is a brothel, and more than a dozen brothels gather together to create this prosperous and corrupt place.
…
Imperial City, inside Shengtian Hall.
Eunuch Lu walked into the study quietly and called out to Emperor Li, who was concentrating with his eyes closed: "Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter?" Emperor Li leaned on the couch, while two maids were massaging him gently.
"The Imperial City Division reported that early this morning, the Prince of Xin'an County led three thousand battalions into the city. At the same time, the Zhenwu Division took over the Wucheng Military and Horse Division." Lu Gonggong said.
Li Huang opened his eyes slightly and asked calmly: "What is he going to do?"
"The Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is strictly investigating the gangs and sects in Kyoto City, while the Prince of Xin'an County went to Fenxiang Pavilion."
"Incense Pavilion!"
Emperor Li waved his hand to signal the two maids to stop, and then sat upright.
"How dare you take action against Fenxiang Pavilion? Haha, this kid is really brave."
"Your Majesty, if Prince Xin'an disturbs the Incense Pavilion, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble." Eunuch Lu reminded.
As the most prosperous area in Kyoto, Fenxiang Pavilion contains huge interests, and there are countless forces involved behind it.
"Go to Prince An's Mansion!" Emperor Li smiled and said.
Eunuch Lu nodded slightly and said, "Here."
There are many forces involved behind Fenxiang Pavilion, and the largest one is Prince An's Mansion.
In addition to Prince An's Mansion, there are many distinguished families, such as Duke Cheng, Duke Jing, Marquis of Zhennan, Marquis of Wushang, etc.
However, these forces are only the beneficiaries behind the scenes. The forces that actually manage Fenxiang Pavilion are the three sects around Kyoto.
The three sects, Qingfeng Sect, Xinyi Sect, and Yunyan Sect, are the apparent masters of Fenxiang Pavilion.
The sect is connected with nobles, and even involves Prince An's Mansion. This is the reason why no one dares to mess with Fenxiang Pavilion in Kyoto.
The reason why Emperor Li asked Eunuch Lu to go to Prince An's Mansion was to suppress Prince An and prevent Prince An from causing trouble to Qin Wei.
Eunuch Lu exited the study and hurried to Prince An's Mansion accompanied by several young eunuchs.
At this time, the palace of Prince An was very lively.
King An, Qin Changan, was as skinny as a stick and wore a plain robe, looking like a frail scholar.
He was sitting on the main seat in the main hall of the palace, with a dozen ornately dressed people sitting on both sides discussing something.
These people all came from the sect forces around Kyoto. At this time, they did not know that Qin Wei had led his battalion into the city.
"Your Majesty, we must not let the Suppression Division go unchecked. Once the Suppression Division becomes powerful, our sect will definitely be suppressed."
"That's right, Zhenwusi destroyed the Blood Clothes Tower in Kyoto as soon as he took action. The next target is probably our sects. If they are allowed to do whatever they want, we will definitely not be able to stop them!"
"And Prince Xin'an, a yellow-haired boy, dares to show off his power in Kyoto. It is really too presumptuous!"
"Your Majesty, if the Zhenwu Division takes action against Fenxiang Pavilion, what should we do?"
Everyone was talking a lot, expressing their dissatisfaction with the existence of the Zhenwu Division.
Although they had only destroyed the Blood Clothes Tower in Kyoto before, they were still extremely afraid of Zhenwu Si.
Because they all know very well that the existence of the Zhenwu Division reflects the current Li Emperor's attitude towards the sects. If the Zhenwu Division is allowed to develop, the sects near Kyoto will definitely bear the brunt.
Although King An was thin, his eyes were bright and his body was filled with the power of a superior. No one could ignore his presence even if he said nothing.
However, compared to these sect forces, as the prince, what he considers is not the Zhenwu Division's issues. What he values most is the Li Emperor's attitude.
As early as a year ago, the prince had been seriously ill, and now he was bedridden.
And once the prince dies first, the vacant prince position is what he wants most.
The thing he looks forward to most now is the death of the prince.
At this juncture, he naturally didn't want to cause more trouble, let alone make Emperor Li angry.
"Everyone, this matter needs long-term consideration. We cannot change His Majesty's decision, but we do have a lot of room for maneuver in the Zhenwu Division."
"Sect masters, you are too nervous. It's just a Zhenwu division that makes you panic?"
Qin Changan stroked his beard and said slowly.
"Sect Master Cheng Zhao, you also said that Prince Xin'an is a yellow-haired boy. Since he is a yellow-haired boy, then deal with him in the same way as a yellow-haired boy. Don't always think about killing him."
Cheng Zhao, the leader of the Xinyi Sect, is in his forties and has an eighth-grade cultivation level.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Qin Changan chuckled lightly and said: "Take part of it from Fenxiang Pavilion and give it to Prince Xin'an Mansion."
"In the land of Kyoto, under the emperor's feet, it is always not good to fight and kill. Since you are afraid that the Zhenwu Division will suppress you, you should first establish a good relationship with the Prince of Xin'an County."
Everyone below heard the words, whispered to each other, and praised him repeatedly.
"The prince is still thinking carefully, but we are too nervous!"
"I'm afraid that Prince Xin'an, a young boy, won't accept our kindness!"
"How could it be possible? With the prince here, how dare he dare to overthrow the world!"
Qin Changan listened to their discussion and smiled indifferently.
In his eyes, Qin Wei, the king of Xin'an County, was just an insignificant young man. If Emperor Li hadn't been riding a tiger in the court, Qin Wei wouldn't have been able to take the lead.
He never felt that Qin Wei dared to be disrespectful to his uncle, let alone Zhenwu Secretary, but he was confident that he could handle Qin Wei, a young boy.
However, at this moment, the old eunuch beside Qin Changan hurried into the main hall, whispered into Qin Changan's ear: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Xin'an has led a thousand battalions to surround Fenxiang Pavilion!
"
The slap in the face came so quickly. One second Qin Changan was still thinking about how to handle Qin Wei, and the next second he found Qin Wei twirling his tiger beard.
In an instant, Qin Changan's face became extremely gloomy, and his bright eyes released a biting cold light.
The change in his expression immediately made the atmosphere in the hall become depressing.
All eyes were focused on him.
"What's going on?" Qin Changan asked in a cold voice.
"The specific situation has not been found out yet. We only know that the king of Xin'an County entered the city with three thousand soldiers early in the morning, and then all the troops from the five cities were dispatched to arrest the gangs in the city." The old eunuch said in a low voice.
After Qin Changan heard this, his expression changed again and again.
The anger flooded his mind like a huge wave.
"Prepare the carriage, I want to meet this good nephew in person!"
The simple words were squeezed out from between his teeth, and everyone could feel his anger.
However, before the old eunuch could prepare the carriage, a guard from the palace hurried over again.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Lu is here to visit!"
"Who!" Qin Changan asked, thinking he had heard wrongly.
"Eunuch Lu Ji, the eunuch in charge of the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies!" said the guard.
Qin Changan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face became even more ugly.
But then he took a deep breath, and in a blink of an eye, his face returned to its previous calmness.
"You all should step back first! Go through the side door!"
He first issued an eviction order.
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock. Although they wanted to ask what happened, in the end no one dared to ask, so they had to bow and leave.
After everyone retreated, Qin Changan took a deep breath again and said, "Invite Eunuch Lu in."
