Going home in the middle of the night, Huang Qiao sighed long and short all the way, and others also agreed.
Zeng Yu lamented: "The left side of this woman's face is pure and flawless, but the right side of her face is like a Yaksha Rakshasa. Even if she wants to disfigure herself to protect herself, it doesn't stop there. She is too cruel to herself."
"No wonder the Jiaofang Secretary would sell such a talented woman to Juxian Tower." Wang Tingbiao shook his head.
The people in the Jiaofangsi are all official prostitutes. In addition to the normal business, the more important duty is to receive officials. As long as the girls are talented and beautiful, the Jiaofangsi will not let them out unless the brothel can afford a sufficient price.
Gu Guren's household registration was in the Jiaofang Division, but her ownership was sold to a brothel. She was a private prostitute among the official prostitutes. This was against the law, but it became commonplace after the Xuande Year.
If anyone redeems her body, he will not only have to give money to the brothel, but also to the priest. Money will have to be paid twice, inside and outside.
Liu Damo said: "Although she is the daughter of a criminal official in the church, she is also strong and chaste. It is best for us not to talk behind her back."
"Indeed, this is a strange woman. You must not use blasphemous words." Feng Xun said.
Even so, everyone still sighed.
You must know that the scars on Gu Guren's face were scratched out with porcelain shards, which were more terrifying than ordinary knife scars. In addition, he was in the Jiaofang Department, and he was not taken seriously after his appearance. At that time, not even a doctor
I didn't even ask for it. It will heal on its own and leave many scars.
In some places, the meat is still turned outwards, which makes people look disgusting!
However, she is covered with a veil, or only the left side of her face is visible, but she is indeed charming, and the strong contrast makes people feel pity.
Zhou Chong and Yuan Da were already waiting at the pier. Wang Yuan led them through two alleys and then went home separately from Yang Shen and others.
Wang Yuan didn't go out for the next few days.
Mr. Yin and Yang has already determined the date. The 28th of the first lunar month is an auspicious day. At that time, he can go to the Huang family to betrothal. Wang Yuan has been preparing betrothal gifts these days.
It wasn't until the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, two days after the Lantern Festival, that Wang Yuan wore the leopard badge and went straight to the leopard room.
Zhu Houzhao is training troops!
Although the border town had not officially entered the capital, the border troops led by Jiang Bin and Xu Tai, totaling about 3,000 people, went directly to the imperial city to train in the Leopard Room.
This is nonsense.
Although Zhu Di trained sergeants from all over the country in rotation, they were all trained in the military camp outside the city. How could he get the soldiers into the imperial city? Let alone the imperial city, if anyone dared to lead troops into the outer city, Zhu Di would behead him without hesitation!
"Your Majesty, Scholar Wang is here!" The eunuch accompanying him came over to report.
Zhu Houzhao was riding on the horse, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and said with a smile: "Let him come over."
Wang Yuan walked to the Baofang Campus and found that Qian Ning and Li Ying were not there. The emperor was only surrounded by two generals, Jiang Bin and Xu Tai.
Obviously, Li Sanlang has fallen out of favor.
However, Zhu Houzhao was still nostalgic. Before driving away the two of them, he gave Qian Ning a salary increase and a promotion, and promoted Li Ying to Jinyiwei Qianhu. Li Ying continued to lead the Leopard Fang football team, and Zhu Houzhao occasionally went to watch football games. This was not complete.
Lose ground.
By the way, on Zhu Houzhao's birthday last year, he adopted more than a hundred godsons at once. Jiang Bin and Xu Tai were also among them. They should be called Zhu Bin and Zhu Tai now.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Yuan saluted with clasped fists.
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Erlang, do you think the soldiers I trained are powerful?"
Wang Yuan didn't give any face at all and replied: "I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I really can't tell."
Jiang Bin was still smiling, but Xu Tai was irritated.
Xu Tai was a side general recommended to the emperor by Jiang Bin. He was far inferior to Jiang Bin in the city, and he was extremely domineering after being favored and gained power. This guy was so far gone that he actually questioned Wang Yuan on the spot: "Scholar Wang, these are all
An elite soldier who has fought countless battles and has been trained rigorously for several months, why can't he still be recognized by Master Wang?"
Wang Yuan asked back: "Without any warning, the trumpets were blown in the middle of the night to assemble. How long would it take for them to form a team on the school field?"
Xu Tai sneered: "How can anyone not say hello in advance and let the soldiers gather in the middle of the night? Has Wang Xueshi read the military book?"
"Ahem!" Jiang Bin coughed repeatedly, reminding his teammates not to talk nonsense.
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty should know. Last year, I trained 6,000 soldiers. In only one and a half months, they were able to assemble in the middle of the night. The soldiers who did not arrive within a quarter of an hour were punished!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "That's true."
Jiang Bin flattered him and said, "Scholar Wang is the only one in the world who has both civil and military skills. He is not as good as me."
Xu Tai suddenly fell silent. He dared to question Wang Yuan on the spot, but he did not dare to contradict Jiang Bin.
Wang Yuan then said: "Your Majesty, why not bring the six thousand soldiers to the Leopard Room for training so that the border troops can learn what discipline is."
"This method is very good," Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "We will recruit them into the city tomorrow, and it will still be Pan... Who is Pan?"
"Pan Gui." Wang Yuan said.
"Yes, even Pan Gui, Pan Gui is still in charge of the camp." Zhu Houzhao said.
Wang Yuan continued: "The way I train my troops is to train once a day, rain or shine, and often do more training in the middle of the night. I don't know if these frontier troops can hold on."
Zhu Houzhao sneered: "You have to practice even if you can't hold on. I don't want to raise useless soldiers."
Wang Yuan was still slandering: "I am afraid that the two generals love the soldiers so much that when they see their soldiers suffer, they will run to His Majesty and report Pan Gui's tricks."
Before Zhu Houzhao could speak, Jiang Bin quickly expressed his position: "Absolutely impossible!"
The more Zhu Houzhao thought about it, the more it made sense. An army was battle-hardened but lacked discipline, and an army was well-disciplined but lacked battles. Putting the two armies together for training can promote each other.
Moreover, since it was revealed that Jiang Bin killed a good man and took credit for his crimes, Zhu Houzhao also found that there were too many people around Jiang Bin. He immediately said to the eunuch accompanying him: "Send an order to Zhu Ying, the young eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor, and ask him to bring six thousand soldiers immediately.
Leopard Room. Those soldiers are still under his command, but they need to be handed over to Pan Gui for training in the camp, and Pan Gui will be promoted to the commanding officer!"
Jiang Bin took a deep breath and hated Wang Yuan until his teeth itched, but he had to endure it for the time being.
Wang Yuan smiled and said, "I haven't seen your Majesty for many days, and I even miss you. Why don't we go to the city for a drink together today?"
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly: "This is the first time Erlang invites me to drink. I must give him face and wait for me to change my clothes. Zhu Bin and Zhu Tai should go together and change their clothes."
Jiang Bin and Zhu Tai immediately took the order.
Wang Yuan said without scruple: "The two generals have a bad reputation, and I am a civil servant, so I am afraid of being gossiped about."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Wang Yuan thoughtfully, nodded and said, "Then you two don't go, continue training in the Leopard Room, and just call Li Sanlang."
Wang Yuan immediately followed Zhu Houzhao to change into casual clothes, leaving only Jiang Bin and Xu Tai in the school grounds.
Xu Tai was furious: "This thief has bullied people too much and must be removed!"
Jiang Bin said sadly: "Do you think I don't want to? He almost caused me to be eaten by a tiger. But he is the number one scholar, and he is both civil and military. He can lead troops to win the battle. If we have a dispute with him, Your Majesty will only
If you can keep one, you must keep him, because both you and I will be abandoned by His Majesty."
"Then just kill him," Xu Taigou said boldly. "I heard that this man lives outside the city. We can ask the sergeant to pretend to be a thief, go in in the middle of the night and set a fire, so that he will die without any body parts!"
Xu Tai himself is not stupid, he just became a little bit forgetful when he gained power.
Moreover, Xu Tai had dealt with Wang Yuan before, in the battle where Liu Liu and Liu Qi were captured. It was Xu Tai who discovered the leader of the thieves Liu Hui first, but Wang Yuan snatched away the fat in his mouth, and he had long harbored resentment in his heart.
, seeing each other now makes me hate you even more.
Jiang Bin stared at Xu Tai, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person. He didn't bother to refute, but just asked: "Do you dare to single-handedly chase hundreds of thieves for dozens of miles?"
"Of course I don't," Xu Tai said with a smile, "These are just rumors, can they be taken seriously?"
Jiang Bin sighed: "Oh, I sent someone to inquire, and it is indeed true. Countless people in Liangxiang County witnessed it with their own eyes. How many people did you send to kill such a brave man? If there were less, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to kill him.
Chase back to the military camp alone!"
Xu Tai was still insisting: "Then set up an ambush in the streets!"
Jiang Bin was so angry that his liver ached: "If you want to die, don't hold me back."
Xu Tai actually despises Jiang Bin in his heart. His great-grandfather was granted the title of Yongxinbo, a serious noble lord. His grandfather was the commander of the Yulin Army, his father was a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he was a solid martial arts champion. Jiang Bin himself
He is also the commander of the Yulin Army, but he assists in the defense of Xuanfu as the deputy commander-in-chief, so he is regarded as a side general.
In comparison, Jiang Bin is nothing!
But the situation was stronger than the situation. Jiang Bin was favored by the emperor, and Xu Tai had to follow suit.
…
Hearing that he could follow the emperor for a private visit in disguise, Li Ying threw away the football and ran to change clothes happily.
The three of them did not dare to go out through the Meridian Gate. There were many people there, and if they were not careful, they would be troubled by the civil servants.
Even if you are an emperor and leave the palace incognito, you must leave through Bei'anmen or Xi'anmen.
This time we walked to Bei'anmen. After passing the Taiye Pool from the Baofang Campus, we came to the Neiguan Prison and the Divisional Prison. The two prisons were next to the North City Gate. There were all eunuchs nearby. Even if they saw it, they would not dare to
squeak.
Zhu Houzhao was very happy every time he left the imperial city and asked with a smile: "Where does Erlang want to take me to drink?"
"Juxian Tower." Wang Yuan said.
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly, pointed at Wang Yuan and teased: "I didn't expect Erlang to visit a brothel!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't visit brothels, and he didn't know where Juxian Tower was. Ever since Jiang Bin became favored, he often took the emperor to visit the Jiaofangsi and the brothel. As a result, Jiang Bin was impeached by the imperial censor.
In comparison, although Qian Ning was also greedy and domineering, he was not capable of taking the emperor to visit the brothels.
Wang Yuan wanted Zhu Houzhao to meet Gu Guren today and test Zhu Houzhao's preferences. According to Wang Yuan's understanding of the emperor, Zhu Houzhao was probably interested in Gu Guren, and it was unknown whether he could have another route in the palace.
To be honest, Gu Guren was very charming when he was masked. Wang Yuan was a little moved when he saw it, so he said he was willing to redeem his life.
It's just that taking off the veil is scary. Wang Yuan will inevitably judge people by their appearance and has no desire at all for Gu Guren.
Perhaps, this is what the emperor likes!
If I could give birth to a prince...
Wang Yuan inquired carefully and found that Zhu Houzhao almost never went to the harem, and some even suspected that the queen was still a virgin. There were many women in the leopard room, but Zhu Houzhao did not often stay overnight. Instead, he drank and slept with his godsons.
You could say that the emperor is a manly man. He doesn't care about the appearance of his godson, as long as he is brave or humorous, and he even has a big and fat guy.
Wang Yuan always felt that there was something wrong with the emperor's sexual ability. He did not dare to stay in the harem because of his low self-esteem, and used ridiculous and playful excuses to cover up others.
