According to Qi Xuansu's plan, Xu Kou returned to Qizhou. After staying in Qizhou for less than a day, he went to Bohai Mansion.
It is strange to say that although the Li family has opened many courtyards, rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests. The ground in Qizhou is relatively clean. Such places are mainly concentrated in Imperial Capital and Bohai Mansion.
Because it will take time to reverse the verdict, Xu Kou cannot delay this process for too long and must be as soon as possible. This move is not unexpected, because Li Qingnu asked people to hold a poetry meeting in Wutong Garden in Bohai Prefecture, or it could be called something else.
The name, after all, has such a meaning. To outsiders, Xu Kou hurried to Bohai Mansion just to join in the fun.
Now that Li Qingnu has escaped from the sea of suffering, she no longer has to show her face. Instead, she hides behind the scenes and becomes a master-like existence. The academy does not dare to neglect the things she has told her. In fact, this poetry meeting has been scheduled for a long time.
It's scheduled, but Li Qingnu moved the time forward, so it's not a rush.
People in the academy didn’t find it strange. With Master Qingwei returning to Qizhou to take charge of the overall situation, the atmosphere in Qizhou was very depressing. Unlike Jiangnan, where Jiangnan could still try to resist, the overall situation in Qizhou was decided.
Many people simply accepted their fate, and many people broke into trouble and ran to Bohai Mansion to relax. It was a good time to hold such a gathering.
Bohai Prefecture is also on the list of this embargo. Although Bohai Prefecture belongs to the Imperial Palace in name, because the Imperial Palace has been weak for a long time, in fact, Qizhou Daofu has been in charge of Bohai Prefecture, even including the peninsula in Liaodong.
The area is also under the jurisdiction of Qizhou Daofu. In other words, Qizhou Daofu has an inland sea, and the entire sea-circuit line, starting from Qizhou, including parts of Zhili and the peninsula area of Liaodong, is
Under the control of Qizhou Provincial Government.
There is a saying that Bohai Prefecture is under escrow, and the peninsula area across the sea from Qizhou was managed by Qizhou as early as the Wei Dynasty. If you don’t believe it, you can check the administrative division map of the Wei Dynasty. Because at that time, Liaodong was
In an important military town, the capital was established instead of the prefecture. At that time, there were very few people in Liaodong, so it could not be ignored. However, it would be too wasteful to set up a prefecture government office. Therefore, Qizhou was responsible for the civil affairs of Liaodong, and the military was still in charge of the Liaodong capital.
Later, the Taoist sect divided the Taoist government. With the strength of the Li family, with this basis, how could they be polite and declare that the peninsula area has been the inherent territory of Qizhou since ancient times and must be placed under the Qizhou Taoist Prefecture. The Liaodong Taoist Prefecture can only eat a
Dumb loss. Later, the Imperial Capital Prefecture existed in name only, and the Qizhou Prefecture simply took over the coastal line centered on Bohai Prefecture in the name of escrow, and successfully connected the peninsula area of Liaodong from the land, and its influence penetrated from Liaodong to
Parts of Silla, and then use Silla as a springboard to radiate Fenglinzhou.
Therefore, Qizhou Daofu and Qizhou are completely different. Qizhou is an ordinary state, and Qizhou Daofu is a behemoth with an inland sea.
The Jiangnan Taoist Prefecture was no less generous. During the Wei Dynasty, the Jiangnan region was actually divided into two states. When the Taoist sect divided the Taoist Prefecture, in order to
Integrating resources and developing the economy, all these two states were placed under the name of Jiangnan Daofu. Only Luzhou Daofu was left, which separated Qizhou Daofu and Jiangnan Daofu. At the same time, the defenders of Jiang must defend Huaihe, and Jiangnan was not allowed to
The Taoist government has complete control over the river.
The same is true for Lingnan Daofu. The two largest islands in the Central Plains were all allocated to Lingnan Daofu, making its area larger than that of Qizhou Daofu, which has been expanding again and again, and approaching Shuzhou Daofu and Xizhou Daofu. It is a veritable avenue.
Mansion.
Because sea trade has developed and entered the so-called Age of Discovery, the most prosperous line is the coastal line. Now the dust in the south of the Yangtze River is uncertain and the situation is complicated; Lingnan is too far away, and for northerners, the "miasma" is deep; the Imperial Capital
It is too serious and tied up; Liaodong is too bitter and cold, and it is not a world of flowers; then Bohai Mansion becomes the most suitable place.
It was against this background that Xu Kou came to Bohai Mansion. He was not a scholar, nor could he recite poems or compose poems, but given his status, he could still be a guest.
As soon as they arrived at Wutong Garden, many people greeted Xu Kou, but Xu Kou just nodded casually and responded.
Xu Kou can only be regarded as a small figure in Yujing, but when he leaves Yujing and goes to other places, he becomes a powerful figure that many people want to make friends with.
On the other hand, the local emperors had to bow their heads after going to Yujing.
For example, Qi Xuansu, when he was in Borneo, he was the one who controlled the wind and rain and attracted everyone's attention. When he went to Yujing, he had to stay low and be small.
Xu Kou could naturally put on airs and act more reserved at this time.
It happened that the commander of the Qingluan Guard was also here. When Xu Kou was still in the Qingluan Guard, the two had known each other and had a pretty good relationship. The commander invited Xu Kou to have a drink with them.
Xu Kou did not refuse. There were several people sitting at the table, including wealthy businessmen and officials. Several businessmen were complaining that their business could not be done. Many of them complained about Jinque, and they even started to get weird.
Xu Kou interrupted these complaints at the right time, and then brought the topic to the romance aspect.
When the wine was half drunk, the topic gradually became outrageous. They stopped talking about national affairs and started talking about things between men and women.
Xu Kou seemed drunk, but slowly led the conversation.
Someone asked, "Brother Xu, you have a bright future now, why don't you renew your relationship? Could it be that so many Taoist fairies can't get into Brother Xu's eyes?"
Xu Kou pretended to be drunk, waved his hand and said, "Female Taoist priest? It's hard to say, it's hard to say."
"How
Is it too unspeakable?" Several people suddenly became interested.
Xu Kou said, "The fairies from the Taoist sect are all nothing more than gold and jade. After all, they are male thieves and female prostitutes."
Everyone laughed, and someone advised, "Old Xu, why can't you look away? A real man has three wives and four concubines. When a woman has power, she will naturally raise a pretty boy. By the way, they also invented a new word, what's it called?
Come on, a milk dog or something?"
"I remember it was a little wolfdog." Another person said.
"On the other hand, it's just a dog." These people responded with a joking attitude, "I heard that there are mothers and daughters who rob the pretty boy. They really dare to play. They don't want the three obediences and the four virtues."
"What are you talking about? I heard that some female Taoist priests not only sleep with you, but also personally accompany the pretty boy to have a relationship."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. If there's no benefit, why should those young Taoist priests serve them? As for their Taoist companions, it's not that they don't know about them, they just turn a blind eye and play their own way, otherwise they don't know how to preach.
There are so many turtles.”
"This was also forced out. The Taoist sect is so tight on the issue of men and women, and every report is accurate. Those male Taoists are also afraid. They would rather be a cuckold than lose their official hat."
"Some female Taoists nowadays, especially those who are older and more powerful, seduce directly without being subtle. If seduction fails, they resort to force. Well, equality in Taoism is true equality, and we are all equal in this aspect.
Already."
"Otherwise, it's better to be in the imperial court. How can the Taoist sect do this?"
"We are the ones who are going to die, and we are the ones who are responsible for the cattle and horses. If you still dare to play this trick of living here and there, is it really a disadvantage for you to be a man's sword? If this kind of thing happens to me, hehe, then just watch."
Xu Kou was just drinking, and he wanted to bring the topic in this direction.
This way it doesn't look out of place.
Soon, someone said, "That's not entirely true. Real big shots shouldn't have to worry about such things."
Xu Kou sneered, "Not necessarily!"
Everyone at the table looked at Xu Kou: "Brother Xu, how do you say this?"
Xu Kou pretended to be six or seven points drunk. If you are not drunk, everyone will get drunk. "Is the second deputy palace master considered a big shot? Once he wears a cuckold, he has no temper. Maybe he is kept in the dark.
"
Everyone's curiosity was aroused: "Second deputy palace master? Where is the second deputy palace master?"
Some people have already begun to make calculations. Xu Kou has been to three Taoist mansions, namely Qizhou Taofu, Lingnan Taofu, and Borneo Taofu.
The second deputy head of Qizhou Daofu has not changed in these years. He has always been alone, without a wife and children, so he can be ruled out.
.When Xu Kou went to Lingnan Daofu, Zhang Yuelu was the second deputy palace master. But from Xu Kou’s tone, it was clear that he was talking about men, not women. In the same way, when Xu Kou went to Borneo Daofu, the second deputy palace master was
It's Xu Jiaorong, not a man.
So which second deputy palace master is Xu Kou talking about?
Xu Kou motioned for everyone to come over, then lowered his voice, "It's Jiangnan Daofu."
"Li Tianlan?" Others also lowered their voices, "Isn't it possible?"
"But Li Cixi did marry a young wife, an old man and a young wife."
"I know. I have to say that Li Cixi's wife is really delicious."
"By the way, I heard that a few years ago there was a case where a stepson forced his stepmother to rape him. Could it be Li Cixi's son?"
"I know, it's him, Li Mingping."
"Lao Xu, is this what you're talking about? I heard that the stepson didn't succeed."
"It's not a secret. What did I think?"
"Lao Xu, you are not well informed. This is old news."
Xu Kou pretended to be agitated, "You know what the hell, that stepson is the scapegoat, and there is someone else who really succeeded."
"Who?" Everyone looked at Xu Kou again.
Xu Kou deliberately looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "A person who can steal the second wife is certainly not an ordinary person. This person is also from the Li family. He is now the deputy head of Tiangang Hall, and he is considered my boss."
Someone immediately guessed "Li Minghuang?"
"It's probably him."
"That's right. This man is very good at dealing with women. He also captured the eldest daughter of the Zhang family back then."
"Zhang...Yuelu?"
"Damn Zhang Yuelu, Chief Zhang's temper is as evil as a god, smelly and tough. Who dares to provoke her? Li Tianzhen, Mr. Li is powerful, isn't he? He hit his head and broke his blood. I'm talking about Zhang Yuyue."
"What happened to Zhang Yuelu? Chief Qi Xuansu provoked him, but nothing happened."
"How many Qi Xuansu are there in the Taoist sect? Looking at the current situation, apart from the young national master Li Changge, it is also Qi Xuansu. The three outstanding figures of the Taoist sect should be called Shuangjiao."
"I didn't expect that it was my own family that stole one of my own. According to the Li family's seniority, Li Tianlan is Li Minghuang's uncle. Doesn't this mean that Li Minghuang stole his aunt?"
"Hey, it's a big family. It's common for someone to pick up ashes and raise a brother-in-law."
While these people were talking, an extremely secretive formation was quietly operating in the corner.
