Chapter 75 Beauty Pageant (1)

.Siu Daocun knew that I was pretending and replied with grievance: "Your Highness, they did this - our business first." After a slight pause, he deliberately muttered: "If you don't believe me, you can ask your brothers!" Perhaps he had already instructed the guards, and the guards immediately responded when they heard this.

"Oh?" I pretended to be suspicious and looked at the people in the Han Palace, full of inquiries.

Seeing this, the third brother and Zhu Changlin frowned slightly. The third brother spoke and asked the guy who seemed to be the leader among the guards in his house, "What's going on? Did you do it first?"

The guard leader pointed at the few people in our Prince Rui's mansion and said, "They group of puppies teased the girls on our side. The young men were so angry that they took action."

I looked at the few people pointed at by the guard leader intentionally or unintentionally. They all looked extremely confusing, and couldn't help but feel amused: "It turns out that they were deliberately teasing those sisters, which made the people from the Han Palace take action first. This move is really beautiful."

"A bunch of useless things! A bucket!" The third brother got angry when he heard this. He immediately scolded the guards of the Han Palace.

"Brother, you don't have to be angry. These are all ignorant people, so don't blame them!" I really feel relieved when I said these words that seemed to be with the old man. You must know that the third brother's previous actions really made me feel that he didn't take me seriously at all.

"Brother, hey, I'm sorry for what happened tonight!" The third brother bowed to me hatefully and walked out of Xiyunxuan's lobby first.

Zhu Changlin said, "I offended so much," then bowed to me, and followed the third brother and hurried out of the hall.

Seeing everyone in the Han Palace leave, I took out a silver note of 300 taels from my arms and put it on a table that could still stand. To the madam, the turtle slave said, "Your losses here are all counted on the lonely land today. Let's treat you as a shock!" After that, I also took the cable car to store everyone. Zhang Chun'er walked out of Xiyunxuan.

Late at night, I walked by the Qinhuai River, and there was a gust of breeze on the river surface, which made me feel comfortable. In addition, today's events really made me feel relieved and I felt very happy. Not long after I walked out of Xiyunxuan, I took out another 500 taels of silver to let the cable car save and the guards who came out today, which was a reward for them.

Zhang Chun'er followed me all the way, without saying a word. I smiled and said, "I 'robbed' the lady from Xiyunxuan tonight, I'm afraid that Xiyunxuan's boss will be furious."

Zhang Chun'er glanced at me and said, "I have agreed with Xi Yunxuan's boss that he must not be able to keep things when I want to leave."

"Why did Miss come to Ying Tianlai? How could she be in Xiyunxuan?" I kept this question in my heart for a long time, and it was not until this time that I asked: "Is Miss? Is it for your Jinghua Sect to inquire about the information?"

Zhang Chun'er pondered for a moment, nodded without any concealment, and said, "The brothel has always been the place where the most winds can be heard. Not to mention the Qinhuai River."

"After the lady arrives at Prince Rui's Mansion, I'm afraid that your Jinghua Sect will find someone else to be a spy!" I paused slightly, and then said solemnly: "I am willing to marry the lady as my concubine, but I also hope that the lady can separate her from the Jinghua Sect in the future."

This is my plan to attack my heart. From the moment Zhang Chuner obediently followed me out of Xiyunxuan, I knew that I had conquered this woman physically and mentally, but I also saw that she still had a special relationship with Jinghua Sect. Only by cutting off this relationship in her heart can she completely devote herself to my arms, so that I can get more things about Jinghua Sect.

Perhaps Zhang Chun'er should also know that with her "unclean" background, she was just a female concubine in my place at most. At this time, I agreed to marry her as her concubine, which was a great favor for her. Therefore, at this moment, her body suddenly paused, and she couldn't recover for a while in a daze.

I let Zhang Chuner think slowly, deliberately speed up some steps, and walked forward a little. As soon as I walked out of the Qinhuai River, I saw a figure walking out in the darkness, blocking the front of our group.

I never thought that someone would dare to block the way at this time. I was slightly shocked and stopped immediately, looking at the person who looked blurred because of the sky with some doubts.

The guards under my command also saw that the man came from the land was not good. They all surrounded Zhang Chuner and me. In addition to staring at the man tightly, they also watched the situation around vigilantly, fearing that there would be some ambush.

After only a few glances, I felt that the other person's figure seemed familiar. I moved slightly and asked, "Who are you? Why do you block my way?"

The man slowly took two steps and said with a smile: "Your Highness Rui, you took away our Xiyunxuan people. Isn't this clearly going to poach us?"

After hearing this familiar voice, I was able to confirm the other party's identity. She was clearly Lan Wenqi, a female disciple of Xuanshui Sect, who I had met before.

"So it's Miss Blue!" I shook the crowd and waved my hand to make the guards not so nervous, "Miss Blue, I haven't seen each other for many days, are you okay?"

"No, no, it's good. People have poached the door, so how can it be?" Lan Wenqi obviously was not afraid of my identity as King Rui. She spoke as she was as charming as when she first met her.

I waved my hand and said, "Miss Lan, you are wrong. Where did you dig your corner? I heard that Miss Zhang Chuner and the one who didn't sell you Xiyunxuan."

Lan Wenqi obviously didn't believe me, so she walked closer and glared at me with a smile and said, "Who knows if what you said is true, so I said I would come and ask her." When she said that, Lan Wenqi turned to Zhang Chun'er and asked, "Sister Chun'er, are you really willing to let him go?"

From the tone of Lan Wenqi's speech to Zhang Chun'er, I knew that Zhang Chun'er and she should know each other's background, so they began to be confused about the relationship between the three Demon Sects. They were secretly thinking in their hearts whether Xuanshui Sect would be standing on the side of Jinghua Sect.

While I was thinking about my concern, Zhang Chuner replied: "My sister, I volunteered to go to Prince Rui's Mansion. You don't have to worry about me."

"But he belongs to the Zhu family..." Lan Wenqi glanced at me, and wanted to speak but stopped. After a while, she waved to me and said, "Come with me, I have something to say to you."

I slowly followed Lan Wenqi and walked away, probably to the distance where Zhang Chun'er and the guards couldn't hear us talking. Lan Wenqi stopped and said to me: "What are your ideas in your heart? Don't you know she is from Jinghua Sect?"

"Of course I know!"

"Then why are you..." Lan Wenqi stared at me in confusion, as if she wanted to see some clues from my expression.

"Is she a native of Jinghua Sect? What does it matter?" I glanced at Lan Wenqi, thought for a while, and asked, "Could it be that Xuanshui Sect and their Jinghua Sect want to rebel against me, Da Wu?"

Lan Wenqi looked at me for a while after hearing this, suddenly sighed softly and said, "You probably don't know the origin of our three sects of Demon Sect at all, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked such a thing."

"What's the origin?" I really don't know what the origin of the three sects of the Demon Sect have. I only know that the Demon Sect has always been the righteous sects and is just the evil demons and heretics in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Didn't your master tell you?" Lan Wenqi smiled and said in a slight smile: "The reason why our three sects are called demon sects by people in the righteous path is not because of how evil and evil we are. On the contrary, because we are different from them, they actually call themselves the right path, so we are called demon sects by them!"

"Directions?" I don't know what Lan Wenqi means, but her words made me feel a little curious. In my heart, I confirmed that in addition to the Jinghua Sect's methods of acting, our Yingyue Sect and Xuanshui Sect have a big difference from the words "evil demon" mentioned by people in the righteous path in the past. I really don't know where the Demon Sect's statement came from.

"Oh, it seems that you still don't understand the situation at all!" Lan Wenqi explained calmly: "Our three sects of Demon Sect were originally no different from their righteous sects. However, before the founding of the Great Wu Kingdom, their righteous sects assisted your Zhu family, while our three sects assisted Chen Youliang, Zhang Zongzhou and Fang Guozhen respectively. Later, the Great Wu Kingdom established the country, and those sects that supported your Zhu family became the righteous sects. But we became the demon sects."

"So that's it!" Only now did I truly know the origin of the righteous Demon Sect. I couldn't help but think of my master's actions. Another question arose: "The three Demon Sects actually have a great grudge against my Zhu family. That Master is—"

"The three Demon Sects have been suppressed by the righteous path and the court for decades, and there are fewer and fewer disciples under their sects. I don't know what your Yingyue Sect is. Now our Xuanshui Sect is only master and me. Only Jinghua Sect may still retain some of the appearance of the past." Lan Wenqi's words seemed a little lonely and sighing. After she glanced at me, she said: "It seems that over the years, the elders of your Yingyue Sect have figured it out and actually accepted your Zhu family's children as disciples. This will be a way to pass on the incense in the future, or even carry forward it."

"Master's intention is so good!" Master's identity seems to have caused him a lot of suffering in his life. Originally, he could have joined the court as an official when the emperor's grandfather invited him, but he was probably afraid that the various sects in Yingtian Zhengdao would be extremely powerful and would see through his identity and cause unexpected surprises, so he joined his father's residence, and then coincidentally accepted me as his disciple, hoping that Yingyue Sect would not be suppressed by Zhengdao and the court again.

"If I can get the throne in the future, wouldn't it be more in line with the Master's wishes?" I suddenly figured out something. In the Master's heart, he hoped that I would ascend to the throne the most. At this time, he did not dare to help me openly, probably because he was afraid of the suspicion of his father!

After understanding this, I felt relieved. After all, I was unwilling to be enemies with my master no matter what. Since I was a child, I have respect for my master. If I really became enemies with my master, this respect will naturally make me shrink and reduce my winning numbers.

Because of the change in mood, I looked at Lan Wenqi in front of me and felt that she was a little more beautiful. I was very grateful for her to tell me about the Demon Sect. Then I said, "Miss Lan. I heard that Xi Yunxuan is a "gang business, but I don't know which lady you are from the "gang family?"

Lan Wenqi probably wouldn't have thought that I would suddenly ask about this. After pondering for a moment, she smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Lan. Isn't there only one family in the Sichuan Gang whose surname is Lan?"

I had already guessed it before, but I was not sure, so I smiled and said, "In this way, the lady is the daughter of the Yi Lanbei Tribe?"

Lan Wenqi nodded, looked up at the sky again, and smiled and said, "You actually know the origin of Sister Chun'er. She is willing to go with you, so I'll go back first."

"Oh?" I felt a little unsatisfied, but when I thought it was difficult to force a young woman like this, I had to change my words and ask, "Then... I wonder how I can find the lady in the future?"

Lan Wenqi smiled and glared at me, teasing, "What are you asking me for? They have nothing to do with you?" After that, she immediately turned around and walked along the way.

I couldn't have thought that Lan Wenqi was so careless, and her face turned red slightly by choking on the spot. Seeing her figure getting farther and farther away, she smiled bitterly and turned back.

Back in the mansion that day, I arranged a residence for Zhang Chuner. So I went straight into the study to read books, but didn't go to bed. You should know that every morning court needs to get up at 3 o'clock. It's already the fourth time that I've been dressed in the palace. Then I have to wait for an hour in the court room, and then I went to court at 5 o'clock. It's really tiring to say that. Fortunately, I have Yue Yinquei, so it's not important to not sleep for a day or two.

During the morning court, some of the memorials submitted by the ministers were transferred by officials from various provinces. Although the father had been ascending the throne for more than a month, the problem of officials' laissez-faire has not been completely solved. The ministers in the court simply wanted to take one official position and discuss it up to let the father decide. In this case, I usually close my eyes and rest and never say much, because I really should not interfere too much in this kind of thing.

Although the officials discussed by the court were all in various provinces, they were actually related to the struggles of various factions in the court. For example, the Guangdong Censor in front of him and the three Yang editors all proposed to let the Yunnan Censor Liu Ning take over because Liu Ning was a disciple of Yang Shirong, but someone on the other side disagreed. Instead, they elected Zhang He, the formerly in charge of the criminal name in Yanjing, and Li Dawei, who was originally in the prefect of Fanyu, Guangdong.

It is obvious that San Yang is the supporter of his father. They recommended their disciples to serve as Guangdong Censors, just to expand their power in the court. Zhang He and Li Dawei, who were behind, were the disciples of the third and fifth brothers.

I paid attention to the people in the temple who expressed their opinions to my father. I thought about these three people in my heart. If I were asked to choose, I would choose Liu Ning without hesitation. Because first, San Yang is a person who is absolutely loyal to his father, there is nothing wrong with letting their disciples take office. Second, Zhang Ning was originally a censor in Yunnan, and he could be regarded as an experienced and capable official. Third, there is another thing that is very beneficial to me, that is, Liu Ning is Liu Ziliang's father. Through this relationship, I expected that he would help me in the future, so my intentions were more inclined toward San Yang.

However, as early as the beginning of my father's ascending the throne, Zhu Zhu had already made a plan for me to play the role of loyalty to the emperor and try to ignore the idle things in the court. So these days, in this kind of scene, I have always heard and said nothing, which made more people think that I had no intention of the throne, because only by letting my own people control the real power of the place can we have the bargaining chips to ascend to the throne in the future.

I originally thought so, but after Zhu Zhu's explanation, I saw more, even the intention of my father. In fact, mastering real power in the local area is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to have the strongest force, because only by having force can we easily get the world, and the best explanation is that the father can ascend the throne.

The absolute loyalty I showed will make my father let down his guard against me. Without completely solving this "big trouble" of the vassals, he will definitely rely on me. Moreover, I insist on supporting my elder brother, and my father is very relieved of me. He probably knows that with his loyal personality like his elder brother, if he does not have a trustworthy person to assist him, he will never be able to accomplish anything. In this case, even if the third brother and four disciples are placed in various yamen, what's the use? If the father does not choose the eldest brother and choose other people, then it would be better to choose me, because I am sure that I am the best among the brothers.

The father is a strong person. He doesn't like this kind of dispute, but it's not easy to choose a candidate on the spot, and let the other party receive "suppression," which is really against the balance of power and tricks. Therefore, he waved his hand and said, "Let me think about what happened today and leave the court first!" After that, the father led a group of eunuchs out of the hall.
