After Zhao Ji thought for a while, he said: "In order to verify whether there is such a rumor in the public, I will go out of the palace incognito and find Master Li to find out!
Mr. Liang, arrange for me to meet at your residence."
"I obey the order." Liang Shicheng had doubts in his heart, but he still respectfully agreed.
The main reason why Zhao Ji wanted to meet Li Shishi, the oiran of Fanlou, at Liang Shicheng's house outside the palace was that he didn't want to go to Fanlou anymore. It was a bit ridiculous for the emperor to go out of the palace in disguise to visit a brothel.
In Zhao Ji's heart, he didn't want to let Master Li down, and of course he couldn't forget Master Li's talent and beauty.
At this time, the eunuch came to report that the young prime minister Wang Fu was outside the palace gate asking for an audience.
Zhao Ji frowned and thought to himself: "I have just appointed the remonstrating minister Cao Fu to be the supervisory censor at the censor station, and in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, I asked him to go to the capital hall where Wang Fu is to report.
At this moment, Wang Fu is seeking an audience because he must be objecting to Cao Fu’s appointment as the supervisory censor.”
Zhao Ji passed the order and said: "I am tired and I can't see Wang Shaozai."
When the eunuch conveyed the oral instructions from Zhao Guan's family to Wang Fu, who had been standing outside the palace gate for a long time, he was shocked. He felt more and more that he was suddenly not favored by Zhao Guan's family.
Before last night, when I went in and out of the palace to meet officials, it was almost as if I was entering the garden of my own home. Even in the palace, when I had a drink with Zhao Guan's family, I could bare my chest and back in front of Zhao Guan's family...
If you tell some dirty jokes from the market to Zhao Guan's family, you can win Zhao Guan Longyan's joy...
Even when he was telling dirty jokes in the palace with Zhao Guan's family, Zhao Guan's family pretended to be angry and chased him with sticks. As a young prime minister, he climbed up a tree and pretended to beg the officials for mercy, and he was able to win over the people in the tree.
Zhao Guanjia, who couldn't be beaten, laughed...
Wang Fu came to see the emperor this time. He really wanted to rely on the goodwill and friendship he had accumulated in front of Zhao Guan over the years to successfully persuade Zhao Guan to abandon Cao Fu as the supervisory censor. However, now Zhao Guan's family is actually
I want to see him.
Wang Fu had to go back home in despair...
……
An hour later, Liang Shicheng made all arrangements for Zhao Guan's family to leave the palace according to Zhao Guan's request.
This time, Zhao Ji paid a private visit to the palace incognito and made sufficient preparations in advance.
He selected 800 imperial guardsmen in civilian clothes and arranged them in advance along the way and at Liang Shicheng's house.
Liang Shicheng, according to the instructions of Zhao Guan's family, sent a sedan to the Fan Tower to invite the oiran Li Shishi, saying that the eunuch Liang wanted to listen to Li Shishi's new song...
In the afternoon, along the way to Liang Shicheng's house, Zhao Ji saw the prosperity of the city of Bianliang, Tokyo during the day. This was better than the prosperity of the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty depicted in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" that he saw in later generations.
It’s much more prosperous.
Zhao Ji secretly said: "Even in order to maintain this prosperity, I must work hard and never be trampled by the iron hoof of the Jin Army."
……
Zhao Ji came to Liang Mansion and saw that although the construction area of Liang Shicheng's mansion was not as large as one-tenth of the palace, it was already beyond the limit according to Liang's rank. Moreover, Liang Mansion was extremely luxuriously decorated, with a thousand servants and maids.
The rest...
Zhao Ji secretly made a note in his mind that Liang Shicheng was the evidence of corruption and would settle accounts with him later.
Under the arrangement of Liang Shicheng, Zhao Ji finally met Li Shishi, the oiran who had been waiting there for a long time in the hall of Liang Mansion.
Li Shishi was still as beautiful as a fairy, but when she saw Zhao Liang at the residence of Liang Shicheng, who was known as the hidden prime minister of the dynasty, she was doubly surprised and said:
"Zhao Heng, why are you also in Liang Daguan's house?"
After Zhao Ji looked at the ripples of doubt in Li Shishi's eyes, he decided to show off his cards...
