Yichun Courtyard is a royal brothel, and even the maids who serve tea and water are so beautiful. However, these are all the emperor's women. Outside the palace, they are called "concubines", while the civil and military officials can only appreciate the art here.
, absolutely dare not engage in art.
"Grenade? How do you know I have a grenade..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly raised his voice, and the officials around him naturally had no reaction. The white-faced scholar Mr. Kang frowned, leaned next to him and said: "If you don't want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself, I will tell you all the things you did."
It’s very clear, Zhao Guanren!”
"Master Kang! Do we have any misunderstanding..."
Zhao Guanren stepped back half a step and stretched out his hand. Master Kang turned a blind eye to his hand, opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "Then you might as well tell me what misunderstanding you and I have. I caught it with my own hands in the old palace last time."
Did you forget about me so quickly?"
"First of all, my surname is Yin. The emperor gave me the surname Li. What do you mean by calling me Zhao Guanren..."
Zhao Guanren said loudly: "Secondly, you said that I was making grenades. So what if I made sky thunders? This is what our Demon Suppression Division does. Do you think I am a rebel? If you don't make this clear to me, I will definitely
I’m not done with you!”
"Rebellion? Why did Mr. Kang say this..."
A group of officials were stunned and the noisy Yichun courtyard suddenly became quiet. Even Qiu Tianyangzi was confused.
"you……"
Mr. Kang's expression changed, but he immediately smiled and said: "My consort, have you misunderstood me? How dare I accuse you of rebelling without any evidence? What I am saying is that you have made many objects anyway, so why not produce a few exquisite gadgets?"
Iron cannons can easily hurt people!"
"What is an iron cannon..."
A group of officials were still confused. The Tang Dynasty had already cut down the "technological tree". There was only a ban on people making private fireworks to avoid causing fires.
"Ouch~ Mr. Kang is a woman disguised as a man. He has two mouths and doesn't recognize what he just said..."
Zhao Guanren took out a grenade from his arms and said sarcastically: "This thing is just a large firecracker. It can break rocks, and of course it can also hurt people. Of course it's a person who doesn't know kung fu, but Master Kang just said, you made
Are there so many grenades for rebellion?"
"Consort Li!"
Lord Kang, who had a strong reputation in the city, asked: "The princess's bodyguards were all injured by you. I tried to persuade you so well, but why did you bite me back? It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin!"
"good!"
Zhao Guanren said loudly: "Facts speak louder than words. Since you said that the guards were injured by this thing, let's give it a try. If any fierce general is willing to come out and give it a try, I will reward you with a thousand taels!"
"Prince-in-law! I'm humble enough to give it a try without any reward..."
A military attache jumped out immediately. Zhao Guanren pulled him up and left. The officials also gathered around them and came to the courtyard. They only saw the other party taking a horse stance in the open space, mobilizing all the power of his body. Apparently, he was also
A little scared.
"Everyone cover your ears, the sound is a little loud..."
Zhao Guanren lit a grenade and threw it towards the military attaché, about two meters away from him. The girls in the building ran out one after another and covered their ears with the officials curiously. Everyone knew how loud the firecrackers were.
Know.
"Bang~"
The earth mine exploded on the grass, and the grass and mud were blown up more than one meter high. The military attache on horseback shook slightly, only a piece of mud fell on his head, and he said in shock: "No? This
Things can rebel, the cannons used to open our graves are louder than this!"
"Pfft~hehehe..."
Many people covered their mouths and burst into laughter. Mr. Kang with a gloomy face quickly stepped forward, took out a piece of silver and handed it to the other party. He turned around and cupped his hands and said with a smile: "If you are a threesome, you must have a teacher from me. I will teach you."
, I will be careful in my words and deeds in the future, and I hope my consort will forgive me!"
"You are my superior, I should ask you for advice..."
Zhao Guanren walked over with a smile on his face and said in a low voice: "Kang! Your Majesty asked you to supervise me to earn money, not to frame me. Besides, you are always cynical.
What does it mean to call me Zhao Guanren?"
"Don't pretend to be confused. You and Prince Consort Zhang are both tower guards and you want to bluff me! It's not that easy..."
Master Kang glared at him and was about to leave, but Zhao Guanren grabbed him again, picked up a stone and wrote two strings of English on the slate, stood up and said with a smile: "You are talking about this guy, you are so stupid."
The three Taibao are making people fool around!"
"What a mess, you'd better be more honest with me..."
Lord Kang waved his hand away with disdain. Zhao Guanren wiped off the writing on the ground with his foot, glanced at Xia Buer who was not far away, and walked behind a rockery with his hands behind his back.
"Brother Ren!"
Xia Buer walked over and whispered: "That guy's name is Kang Dingbei. According to the list provided by Brother Teddy, he is ranked eleventh among the Thirteen Taibos, but he is not a soul killer, right?"
"Yes! I want to shake hands with him, but he doesn't understand what it means, and he can't understand English or Pinyin..."
Zhao Guanren whispered: "I felt strange last time. The Soul Killer didn't take the opportunity to kill me. It seems that this Soul Killer was hiding behind the scenes, but Kang Dingbei didn't trust him very much. He was testing me both times.
, so as to confirm whether the other party’s words are true!”
"Kang Dingbei may be a random person, otherwise he would not easily test..."
Xia Buer frowned and said: "The Soul Killer behind him is an old bird, but he must not be an official, otherwise you will find Brother Teddy when you enter the palace, and the land owner caught by fishing should be a newcomer from the first two levels.
, he doesn’t know Brother Teddy either!”
"Now that the fish has surfaced, it's easy to catch. You can leave the city in peace and leave it to me..."
Zhao Guanren patted his shoulder and walked out of the rockery, and entered Yichun Courtyard with a smile. It was not lunch yet, but the oiran had already begun to lead the performance. Kang Dingbei sat in the hall and drank tea calmly. Tian Yangzi
Everyone gathered around him to flatter him.
"Your Majesty! Where does this Kangdingbei come from? Why haven't I seen it before..."
As soon as Zhao Guanren went upstairs, he saw King Yujiang. King Yujiang took him into a small cubicle and asked him to make a pot of tea before closing the door.
"You know, the Thirteen Taibao, Kangdingbei is ranked eleventh, and he is known as Master Kang..."
King Yujiang curled his lips and said: "Master Kang is the think tank among the Thirteen Taibao. The Emperor sent him to supervise you, which shows that he attaches great importance to the Demon Suppression Division. But that guy has always liked to play dirty tricks. He probably didn't expect you to be the one to do it.
He is so ugly today! Haha~"
"Oh, the dung beetle has entered the garden - it's not a bug here, it can't even urinate..."
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "But the emperor gave me a lot of freedom this time. Master Kang only has the power of supervision and has no power to interfere with operations, but I want to know who the mysterious Thirteen Taibao are, and who their commander is. No."
Is it Commander Chen?"
"A layman! Commander Chen is a close confidant of the emperor, but his ability is not enough to enter Luo Zhimen..."
King Yujiang said in a low voice: "Luo Zhimen is the emperor's secret department. They have many eyes and ears, and they have many experts. The leader of Luo Zhimen is the Great Taibao, but I don't know who he is, but I can tell you that the eldest princess is also the one."
One of the Thirteen Taibao!"
"ah?"
Zhao Guanren hurriedly lay down on the table and asked in surprise: "Are you talking about the eldest princess of Gaoyang? Since she is the emperor's thirteenth concubine, why did she secretly support Prince Ning in seizing the throne?"
"Gao Yang is not a blood relative of our family. Like you, he was given a surname and made a princess. His real surname is Yang..."
King Yujiang also leaned over and said: "But the title of Gaoyang is unlucky. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, there was a Princess Gaoyang. She first committed adultery with Tang Xuanzang's disciple Futu. When Emperor Taizong found out, he beheaded the girl in anger.
, and also gave her..."
"What?"
Zhao Guanren was surprised and said: "Whose disciple committed adultery with the princess? Isn't the pagoda a tower?"
"Xuan Zang of the Tang Dynasty! Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty! The one who went to Tianzhu to obtain scriptures, his disciple was called Futu Bianji..."
King Yujiang smiled lewdly and said: "Princess loves to find monks the most. Firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, she wants to be a part of Buddhism. Oh, you can really interrupt me. Where did I just say it? Princess Gaoyang was executed for rebelling against her husband, and
The emperor gave this name to the eldest princess again, do you understand what it means?"
"Oh~"
Zhao Guanren nodded slightly and said: "The emperor was afraid that the eldest princess would rebel, so he deliberately gave her an unlucky title to remind her and the people around her, right?"
"That's pretty much what it means, so Prince Ning has no chance..."
King Yujiang joked: "Let me tell you another secret. It is said that when the emperor was the prince, Gao Yang always accompanied him. Gao Yang secretly gave birth to a son for him, but the fetus disappeared. Some people suspected that Prince Ning was Gao Yang's son.
Son, illegitimate son!"
"Ah? Why did I hear that Prince Ning and Gao Yang were messing around? Which one is true..."
Zhao Guanren looked at him in bewilderment. King Yujiang sat back and rolled his eyes, saying: "Some people say that you are the face of my seventh sister. They say you have a nose and eyes. You haven't counted in your mind whether you have done it or not. These are just after dinner.
Let’s talk about capital!”
"Actually! Some things are not groundless..."
Zhao Guanren stood up slowly. King Yujiang was stunned for a while before he realized what he was saying. He was surprised and said: "Oh! I know, the day when you two are in love with each other, she will play the flute at night with the beauty, and you will love the wine in the sky."
Come on up, you two are communicating with each other about your feelings!"
"Don't stay here. Your sister's songs are worth a thousand pieces of gold. She must be her general distributor..."
Zhao Guanren couldn't help laughing and walked out. King Yujiang quickly stopped him and said, "Don't go! I still have a princess sister, no! You are already the prince-in-law. What about the princess? My uncle will make arrangements for you tonight. Please help me."
Get the glass bowl!"
"Do you want military power, the kind that can kill other brothers..."
Zhao Guanren said something coldly, and King Yujiang covered his mouth, quickly opened the door and stretched his head to look, then closed the door and window and whispered: "Don't say this nonsense, the prince will be beheaded, too.
But...can you really get it?"
"I have to take sides. I can defeat demons, but I can't defeat the same kind of open and covert arrows..."
Zhao Guanren narrowed his eyes and said: "Seven princes, I only want to be friends with you. Your other brothers cannot tolerate me, and I only ask you, are you ready to kill your siblings, or even force them to marry each other? If you have no such plan at all,
Let’s go downstairs and listen to the music, and pretend we didn’t say anything!”
"You can't coax me..."
King Yujiang lowered his voice with a ferocious expression, and said fiercely: "The battle to seize the direct descendants will go forward or back down. Either they die or we die. I will do anything to succeed, but money and a little military power are useless. It will only make this king miserable."
Die faster!"
"Will the three armies of Beiting, Longyou and Hexi, with more than 400,000 troops, be enough..."
Zhao Guanren raised four fingers fiercely, but King Yujiang was surprised and said: "Beiting and Longyou are both high in the sky and far away from the emperor. It is not impossible to surrender to the king if we try hard, but... Hexi Jiedushi is the emperor's confidant, no
Might be a traitor!"
"I'll tell you a real secret. Nanzhao is a fraud, and Hexi wants to take Longyou's retreat..."
Zhao Guanren muttered for a while, and King Yujiang covered his mouth in horror, but soon said with burning eyes: "If you can make these three armies obey my command, and I dare to surround Luoyang City and force the palace, you can
Be the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty and the great master of the country!"
"I don't want to be a great master. I just want to drink, have sex, get rich, and kill monsters. Your Majesty! Just wait and see..."
"My dear! Don't let me down. I have staked my life and fortune..."
"Your Majesty! I am also risking my life with my head raised, but I never joke with my life. I will see for myself when the time comes..."
