"Lord Qianhu, I have no grievances against you, so why do you want to harm me several times?" Wang Xian looked at Ji Song with a look of unbearability and said warmly: "Don't you know how the word "death" is written?"
"Excuse me, I'm just following orders." The more kindly he looked, the more frightened Ji Song became. In addition, the guard beside him grinned and stretched his riding whip, scaring Ji Song's body like chaff.
You can’t help yourself, but you can’t help yourself.”
"Whose order?" Wang Xian said calmly.
"Of course it belongs to my uncle." Ji Song said, looking at Wang Xian's face, and whispered: "It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Why don't you let me go, and I will make peace with my uncle for you?"
"Your uncle listens to you?" Wang Xian smiled noncommittally.
"Of course I will listen..." Ji Song said hurriedly.
"Is it because you are such a bear?" Wang Xian chuckled and said, "Captain Ji has been killed a long time ago, I don't know how many times."
"Well, my uncle sometimes listens to me." Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Ji Song hurriedly explained: "You may not know, sir, but my uncle has no son so far. He has been raising me at home and is planning to stay quiet for the past two years.
, just let me live as an heir."
"Oh?" Wang Xian felt happy in his heart, but said coldly on his face: "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"Of course not." Ji Song shook his head vigorously and said, "Although this matter is not public, many people in the capital still know about it."
"Where can I go to check for a while?" Wang Xian shook his head and sighed: "Well, tell me about your uncle. If you are really his adopted son, you must be very familiar with his big and small affairs. Is it true or false?
I’ll know it as soon as I hear it.”
"That's no problem." Ji Song nodded vigorously and said, "What do you want to hear, sir?"
"Whatever you want." Wang Xian ordered with a smile: "Serve the table with food and drinks, and Ji Qianhu and I will drink and chat."
"Thank you, sir." Ji Song was flattered and hurriedly recalled every detail of Ji Gang.
The food and wine came quickly. The food was cooked by a famous chef in Hangzhou. The wine was Lanling Tulip, which was sweet and smooth in the throat, but very intoxicating. The two started drinking together. After a few glasses of wine, Ji Song started chatting:
"Speaking of my uncle, he is really a legendary figure. He is good at riding and shooting, has superb martial arts, is also familiar with classics and history, and writes well. He is called an emperor who is both civil and military. During the Hongwu period, he was an emperor who promoted Xunzi.
After that, I was kicked out of the school by my teacher. After a few years of wasted time, during the Jianwen period, Emperor Yongle's Jingnan army passed by my hometown in Su'an. My uncle realized that the opportunity had come to show off what he had learned, so he risked his life to seize Jinshang.
Mount, please surrender to the army. Jin Shang was pleased that I am very brave and very skilled in bow and horse. He was immediately accepted as a personal soldier in the tent. Later, he followed Jin Shang in the south and north, and made great military exploits. After the success of Jing Nan, he sat on the Imperial Guard.
The commander's throne..."
"Everyone knows this, let's talk about something new." Wang Xian suddenly poured the wine in his glass on the ground and frowned.
"Yes," Ji Song hurriedly shrank his neck and said, "Actually, the reason why my uncle was expelled from the school was because he slept with the concubine of the Confucian professor. The instructor would naturally kick him out. Later, when my uncle became rich, he took advantage of it.
I took the melons and sent them to Liaodong, leaving only the concubine."
"What happened to my concubine?" Wang Xian asked.
"My uncle asked someone to bring that concubine to the capital. Although she is already a mature woman, my uncle was nostalgic and still accepted her as his concubine."
"I didn't expect Governor Ji to be a passionate person..." Wang Xian said calmly.
"Haha," Ji Song laughed when he heard this and said, "There's no such thing as serious love. It's just eating with multiple pairs of chopsticks. My uncle, Ji Concubine Ruyun, has never touched her again."
"I've heard for a long time that Governor Ji has a romantic nature and unparalleled beauty. He is really the idol of men all over the world." Wang Xian sighed with envy, raised his glass and said, "Come here, respect Governor Ji."
"That's true." After Ji Song drank several glasses of Lanling wine, he was already dizzy. His mouth couldn't help but loosen up, and he said with a lustful look: "My uncle's woman is so charming.
It is so beautiful that even the emperor’s harem cannot compare with it.”
"I don't believe this." Wang Xian said disapprovingly: "The emperor's women are beautiful women selected from all provinces in the country. It is said that there are also beauties donated by Goryeo and Annan. When it comes to enjoying the beauty of the world, no one can compare with it.
emperor?"
"You are no longer an amateur," Ji Song chuckled, "Do you know who is the beauty pageant for the emperor?"
"It should be the eunuch in the palace." Wang Xian thought about it and thought.
"You only know one but not the other," Ji Song said with a smile: "It is true that the eunuch is responsible, but how can it be done without the Jin Yiwei to check the family background? So this list of beautiful girls has to be passed by my uncle.
"Once again" he said with a lewd smile: "Hey, you know..."
"Oh," Wang Xian said with a surprised look on his face: "Could it be that Governor Ji dares to pluck the goose's hair? This is the crime of bullying the emperor.
"You don't understand. My uncle is so good that others can't find anything wrong with him." Ji Song's eyes were blurred and he could no longer control his mouth: "You think, the beauties sent from all over the country are not three times each time."
There are two thousand, but in the end, less than a thousand people can enter the palace. Who leaves and who stays, there is a lot of money here. Every time during the review, Zhuang Jing and his gang will secretly pay attention to those stunning beauties, and then use various methods to
The reason...for example, the family background is not good, the father and brother are related to Jianwen's remaining party, etc. Any reason can get them off the list. But for the family, they only say that they have been elected to the palace. Anyway, once they enter
The palace gate is as deep as the sea, and there is no way to check it at home. Who would have known that their daughter has become my uncle's concubine?"
"I see. I didn't expect that the emperor would not be able to taste the soup." Wang Xian was really eye-opening and said sincerely: "How many beauties does your uncle have?"
"Who knows?" Ji Song shook his head and said, "There may be three hundred if not five hundred. I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know..."
"With so many women, can Governor Ji keep busy?" Wang Xian asked gossiping.
"Hehe, of course he is too busy." Ji Song shook his head and said. "My uncle is covered in iron, but how many nails can he drive out? There are more wolves but less meat. There are more wolves but less meat."
"Aren't you afraid that those women can't bear the loneliness and Hongxing cheats on her or something?" Wang Xian asked again.
"It turns out that there was indeed a case of a concubine who couldn't bear it and committed adultery with a servant, but what did my uncle do for a living? He is the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard." Ji Song said proudly, "He asked my aunts to monitor each other.
, exposing the whistleblower can lead to meritorious service, and the benefits are endless, so soon someone exposed the scandalous behavior of the man and woman. My uncle chopped the two of them alive in the house, and everyone in the house watched from beginning to end for three days...
"
After such a long time, Ji Song still felt nauseous when he thought of that scene, and almost vomited out the food and wine he had eaten. Wang Xian hurriedly asked the maid to massage him, but he could not let him take a break at this time.
The Jiangnan beauty's soft, boneless hands pressed against her body. Ji Song felt like taking a hot bath on a cold day. He felt so comfortable that he wanted to moan. Seeing that he had returned to a dizzy state, Wang Xian continued to ask.
: "This kind of deterrence should be very effective, right?"
"Of course, it really scared those women," Ji Song nodded: "But my uncle knows people's hearts best and knows that people only care about eating and not fighting, so in order to avoid future troubles, he expelled all the men in the house.
He came out and had hundreds of young children from good families castrated and served around him so that he was the only man in the house, so naturally no one would cuckold him again."
"That's almost like an emperor." Wang Xian clicked his tongue and gave the maid a look. The maid wrapped around Ji Song like a snake. Ji Qianhu's body suddenly became half stiff, and he touched the maid's little hand and started kneading it.
Wang Xian then asked again: "You just said that his concubine can be promoted through meritorious service. What do you mean?"
As the saying goes, wine and sex mislead people, Wang Xian came up with a two-pronged approach. Ji Song, the second generation ancestor, fully understood everything: "In my uncle's back house, there is a set of grades just like the palace. From the main palace empress to the noble concubine, concubine, and concubine
, Jieyu, beauty, talent... there are nine grades and eighteen grades in total. The higher the grade, the higher the enjoyment in all aspects. When you reach the level of concubine, you have your own house, dozens of people to serve you, and a monthly salary of one thousand taels of silver.
More moisturizing than the concubines in the palace."
"Captain Ji is really like an emperor," Wang Xian sighed. "A man's life is worth a thousand cuts."
"You're so right. What's the difference between my uncle and the emperor? Let me tell you a secret. A few years ago, the houses of the kings of Jin and Wu were confiscated for crimes. My uncle confiscated gold, jade and jewels, including several sets of royal crowns.
My uncle withheld it but did not turn it over. After that, he would often close the door, serve him well, sit high with wine, and order outstanding boys to play music and serve the wine, shouting long live. The utensils and household items used in daily life are also subject to the same regulations as the emperor, what do you think?
What is the difference between my uncle and the emperor?"
"There's really no difference." Wang Xian said slowly, "But isn't the cost too high?"
"Of course, it's not an exaggeration at all to say that it costs a thousand gold a day." Ji Song nodded.
"Then where does this money come from?" Wang Xian asked curiously: "Although the salary of the Governor of Jinyiwei is not low, it can't cover a few days of expenses, right?"
"Of course," Ji Song said with an innocent look: "Don't talk about my uncle, even I can't spend my own money."
"Then how does your uncle make money?" Wang Xian asked curiously.
"There are so many ways." Ji Song said, "It's almost too many to count."
"Just tell me a few."
"For example, those chamberlains and ministers who were sent to prison became my uncle's cash cow. If they wanted to survive in it, they had to pay for their lives every day. Don't listen to people saying that prison is terrible. In fact, money can make ghosts
As long as you are willing to spend money, you can live and drink like a millstone. Moreover, my uncle will agree to those prisoners who are destined to die and help them plead with the emperor to forgive their sins. But after the extortion reaches the point of bankruptcy, they will be beheaded in the market.
"
Wang Xianxin said, this guy is really evil, and sighed: "It's not easy to make money like this."
"Yes, it was still as good as when Guaman copied it. It was almost ten thousand dollars a day. Most of my uncle's family wealth was accumulated at that time." Ji Song said: "But it is simple now. As long as an official has been doing it for a long time, which one is not?
What a shameful thing? What does my uncle do? He holds the handle of hundreds of officials. He can extort money at will. Those local officials and officials in the court have to obediently hand over the money.
