Chapter 48 The Imperial Palace
At night, the lights were raised in the central government, and the entire central government hall seemed silent. Qin Shou's team, Li Zhen, Xue Rengui and Yuan Shenpu, sat aside, quietly waiting for Qin Shou's words. Qin Shou summoned the three of them with the determination to discuss important matters, which was related to Liu Qiu's future and the future of the Tang Dynasty.
The outside of the central government hall was not an exaggeration. The patrol guards did not allow anyone to approach the hall half a step. No matter who was anyone, without Qin Shou's permission, those who approached were arrested as spies. The guards did not know what was going on, nor did they know what Qin Shou was so nervous about.
Li Zhen sat aside, looked at the silent atmosphere in the hall, twisted it a little uncensoredly, picked up the wine glass and suddenly put it down, breaking the atmosphere in a restless manner and said, "Brother Qin, do you have anything to say when you call us together? Or is it because of today's Qingfeng?"
Li Zhen remembered the Qingfeng incident today, and couldn't help but ask Qin Shou with some confusion. No matter what, it would be fine. Now Qin Shou summoned them to discuss matters about the throne. After Li Zhen knew that Qin Shou wanted to support and support Li Zhi, the prince Li Chengqian would definitely be dragged into the water, and even other princes were similar.
Now they are plotting against these traitors, a little nervous and excited. If you support the support right, it will be inevitable that you will be able to make a fortune in the future. If you stand on the wrong side, it will be very unlucky. If you are not good, you may even lose your family. It is very dangerous and challenging. Li Zhen is a little worried and a little scared.
Yuan Shenshou was sitting on the side. He couldn't figure out why Qin Shou asked him to sit here? He couldn't help but tell fortunes, but it was okay. It was not just for Qin Shou to tell fortunes but for others to see the faces. Yuan Shenshou could no longer see through Qin Shou's face. This guy was simply changing his numerology.
Xue Rengui sat on the side and was drinking. It was not his turn to speak. Xue Rengui would not express any opinions. He still understood the most basic contentment and joy. There was nothing important. He should speak less and listen more. He did not feel any honor for Qin Shou's attention to Xue Rengui, but sat honestly listened to his opinions.
Qin Shou shook his head and sighed, "Ah~ It's really like Brother Zhen said. Qin did feel a headache because of Qingfeng today. Now the truth is revealed. Qin also knows who is behind the scenes. But he has never calculated that the Prince Prince who lives in seclusion is doing something behind the scenes!"
Qin Shou thought of the person who checked him behind the scenes, and he felt a little confused at that time. Now, after solving the puzzle of Qingfeng today, Qin Shou finally knew who did the good thing. His Royal Highness, the current crown prince, revealed his ambitions, began to prepare ace troops for his throne, but he was a little too anxious to do things.
If Li Chengqian was more calm in his work, he might not have been sure that Qingfeng would really give him the steel technology he wanted. As the saying goes, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Li Chengqian's anxiousness led to his failure. If he really took the steel technology and secretly produced steel or something, perhaps there was still a chance to win the battle against the throne.
No matter what, Li Chengqian is still the prince now, and Boss Li only has some small opinions about him and does not say that he wants to deprive him of his rights or something. Moreover, Boss Li has also given Li Chengqian many opportunities. Whether he will cherish and grasp it depends on his own luck. Even if Li Chengqian corrects it, I am afraid Qin Shou is not happy to pull him into the water.
What's wrong with this? Qin Shou has roughly guessed what. It must be Changsun Recharge Money. This guy is threading a needle. Now Qin Shou can be sure of one thing. Changsun Yin people have not completely given up Changsun Recharge Money. They may even do acting. The various things inside really make Qin Shou feel complicated.
As the saying goes, tigers do not eat their children. The people of Changsun Yin have not reached the level of tigers. At most, they are old foxes. Seeing the news compiled by Su Ye, Qin Shou immediately thought of Changsun’s money-making bird man. If he hadn’t threaded needles and threads behind him, how could that Jiro Kato find the people of Changsun Yin? The weirdness in this is a bit doubtful.
After receiving the news from Xue Rengui, Li Zhen looked at it roughly, smashed his lips and said, "Well~ This, Brother Qin, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this? It is normal for Jiro Kato to ask Nagasun to make up for money. It seems that the old fox is a little familiar with the Japanese pirates. As for where, Brother Zhen, I don't know!"
Li Zhen didn't know why Qin Shou was lying on the news about the Japanese pirates. The news didn't seem to be anything. It was normal for the Japanese pirates to be a little familiar with Changsun Yin people. It seemed that at the emperor's banquet where wild beasts danced around, Changsun Yin people formed a shameful agreement with the Japanese pirates and Goryeo. Now Qin Shou is chasing the news and refuses to let go. It's really weird.
Qin Shou shook his head in agreement with Li Zhen's words, turned his head to look at Xue Rengui who was silent while keeping silent, and asked: "Things are not that simple. Brother Xue, have you found out what news you have on the Japanese pirates? Is there any news about Changsun recharge? This turtle grandson must not let him run away. If you catch him, bring him back immediately!"
After hearing Qin Shou's words, Xue Rengui frowned and said with embarrassment: "This, there is no news yet. If Xue is not wrong, Brother Qin, you are looking for Changsun to replenish money. It is very likely that he will stay in the imperial city of the Japanese pirates. Of course, he cannot be in the palace. The emperor of the Japanese pirates does not need eunuchs..."
"The emperor of the Japanese pirates does not need eunuchs?" Qin Shou was a little surprised after hearing Xue Rengui's words. If the Japanese pirates did not need eunuchs, what should he do in his harem? It would not be a place for prostitution? But thinking about it is also possible that Japanese pirates were born with lewd countries. Women were proud of prostitution, and even the prostitute of the female general of the Wanqi cavalry.
Xue Rengui nodded for granted Qin Shou's shocked expression, so he nodded for granted Qin Shou's surprise: "That's right, Xue was also surprised at that time. If it weren't for Xue's encroachment on Gao Zhi and learning from a retired historian of the palace, he wouldn't have known that this was the case, and the previous emperors were women..."
Xue Rengui told the news he knew. The reason why the Japanese pirates did not adopt eunuchs was that they were "unwilling" to adopt them, or they might be "not needed". If they were unwilling to adopt them, the Japanese pirates must have had a higher value judgment at that time, so they could think that Chinese culture was "not good" at those two points, so they were unwilling to adopt them.
Judging from the current national power in the early Tang Empire and the enthusiasm of Dahua Reform, it seems unreasonable that the Japanese pirates had higher value judgments at that time. Moreover, although the Japanese pirates are unified, they have not yet had their own complete texts, and their ruling system may not be very sound. Unlike China, which already has its own mature culture history, the system has been complete since the Qin Dynasty, and the Japanese pirates should not be "unwilling" to adopt it now.
After hearing Xue Rengui's words, Qin Shou bowed his head and pondered. In Chinese civilization, the eunuch system is a product of inequality between men and women. With a few exceptions, men are not only satisfied with monogamy. After being a king or emperor, they must want to "own" and "exclusively" many wives and concubines.
In order to monopolize other bloodlines and not allow other bloodlines to be mixed into the dragon seeds, it is best not to give them the opportunity to come into contact with other men, so as not to have a slight relationship with men and women and cause trouble. Therefore, these wives and concubines must be imprisoned. Once there are more wives and concubines, there will be problems in management and basic life. These problems face various problems involving heavy work.
Take the current Tang Dynasty palace as an analogy for the fact that other maids manage these wives and concubines will be difficult to distinguish between wives and concubines. Moreover, women are weak in physical strength and difficult to do heavy work, etc. It is best to be managed by other men, so that the system of castrated men becoming eunuchs has emerged.
Xue Rengui revealed that the previous emperors of the Japanese pirates were women, and Qin Shou also felt that there was no need for Japanese pirates. In addition, Japanese pirates were born with lewd men and women, so they couldn't hold back when they went to a brothel. If you take off your pants and put them on your butt, you'll just pat your butt. In addition, you just took off your original tribe and you know what etiquette is. Otherwise, their names wouldn't be messy. If you see Yamamoto Yamasaki, or what?
"Damn it! What a backward country!" After hearing Xue Rengui's report on the news about the Japanese pirates, Li Zhen became shocked. However, the Japanese pirates' palace was a bit desirable, and there were many things to steal. In addition, the current emperor is extremely chaotic, so it is not an exaggeration to say that a little bit ugly. What official's wives and concubines have never been to?
"Oh~" Yuan Shenpu didn't know what to say. For the messy system of Japanese pirates and the lewd thoughts, Yuan Shenpu was not only shaking his head but also shaking his head. I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to be the current emperor to be called a bastard. The female emperor didn't know how many men he had ridden. I'm afraid she didn't know who the female emperor herself, right?
Xue Rengui curled his lips and shrugged helplessly and said, "That's the case, so Xue doesn't think that Changsun stays in the palace for money. The male slaves entering the palace are verified by special female guards, and they also have to test their physical strength. It is said that if you can enter the palace, you need to have more than three times a night to fight! "
Sneak~ Qin Shou suddenly squirted out a sip of wine, and the news was really shocking! It was a lewd country. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, this is a famous saying that the palace is so lewd, let alone the people are not? A perverted country is a perverted country. No wonder the Japanese pirates have always maintained the name of a lewd small country.
Li Zhen coughed dryly, and when he woke up, he saw Qin Shou's gesture to the corner of his mouth with one hand, wiping the saliva at the corner of his mouth with an awkward look on his face. It was too lewd. Li Zhen was a little concerned at this time, of course he was just thinking about it. If he really lived in such a bad country, Li Zhen would not be happy to kill him. It was too lewd!
Xue Rengui suddenly remembered something and patted his forehead. Under Qin Shou's shocked expression, he took out a somewhat worn cloth and said, "By the way, Brother Qin, when it comes to the palace of the Japanese pirates, Xue plundered the palace map he had been hiding from the historian. Brother Qin, look, maybe it may not be useful to us in the future!"
"Oh? Is that so? It's very dirty, Brother Zhen, please pick it up!" Qin Shou looked at Xue Rengui with some surprise and twisted out the worn cloth with his fingers. After throwing it to the table with one hand, he felt like washing his hands. Qin Shou signaled Li Zhen on the side with a black look on his face to help pick up the dirty rag, signaling Li Zhen to raise it up and take a look by himself.
Li Zhen raised the Japanese pirate map with his hands with his hands. The Japanese pirate capital, Tokyo City, has a unique appearance. Qin Shou looked at the whole area, with wide avenues, spacious squares and streets surrounded by huge stone buildings, but these are not the ones that constitute the foundation of the city, but thousands of narrow, often winding streets and alleys.
Although there is a Chang'an city that imitates the early Tang Dynasty in Tokyo, there are almost no green spaces in those places. The yards of ordinary residents also have a lot of green. No matter how small the yard is, you have to plant even a tree, a few shrubs or a flower bed. It looks a bit human-like, and it is even more comparable to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty today.
But from the perspective of strategic significance and trade channels, the location of the city is extremely favorable. Judging from the current map of the Japanese pirates' imperial city, castles began to be built at the current imperial palace. The projects were extremely large at that time. They drained the swamps, dug ditches, and built streets, bridges and ports.
The emperor's guards were stationed in the palace of the Japanese pirates, with about 80,000 warriors. This also partly explains why the Japanese pirates' palace is so huge. The palace is surrounded by a low-high but very wide granite wall and a water-filled moat, imitating Chang'an and imitating it to form their unique Japanese pirate civilization.
"What an ugly palace! Is it ugly? Or is it like that?" Yuan Shenpu was shocked and said Qin Shou's thoughts in a daze when Li Zhen raised the map. This palace was not only built ugly, but also painters were speechless. What a deceptive palace painting! Qin Shou sighed in his heart and shook his head speechlessly.
"Well, it's really ugly, but why does it smell bad?" Qin Shou suddenly smelled an unpleasant smell, covering his nose with one hand and slapping the stench in the air with the other. Qin Shou looked at Li Zhen with a strange look on his face and immediately guessed that the source of the smell must be the rag in his hand, otherwise Li Zhen wouldn't have been like this.
Li Zhen turned his head and breathed in fresh air. He looked at Xue Rengui who had washed cold water several times and couldn't help but say, "Damn it! It's so smelly, what the hell is this? Brother Xue, where did you get the map? Why is it so smelly? It's so stinky!"
As Li Zhen asked, Xue Rengui shook his hands that had been washed several times, holding a rag in one hand, and said as if nothing had happened: "Hmm? Brother Zhen, are you asking about the map in your hand? Oh, this underwear seems to be pulled from the historian, what's wrong? Xue, I was..."
