It is becoming more and more difficult to live in the capital, not only the foreign businessmen are so emotional, but those Beijing officials are so worried that they have to cut off a few beards, the first 20 years of Tai'an City in this dynasty was only 600 taels of silver per mu, and now it is still precious silver and cheap copper, which has risen to a jaw-dropping 2,500 taels per mu, no wonder Sun Xiji, the left servant of the province, has the same price as gold.
A small courtyard, even in the most marginal of the capital, but also the price of nearly a thousand taels, the scholars who entered the Beijing entrance examination are bitter, fortunately, there is a hometown hall that tends to flourish because of the time, so that most of the shy scholars in the bag are not cornered, and there are temples to rent, and the general scholars can also afford the rent, so there are no complaints, only those who have an empty reputation and no gold and silver, no money to buy a residence in the capital for a lifetime, will often talk about self-deprecation and write a few poems, both to express their minds, It can also win the resonance of the Hanshi, killing two birds with one stone.
Some of the halls that have been out of the Yellow Gate or Hanlin often hang signs of renting thousands of dollars per day in Shijidi, and these feng shui treasures are also in short supply.
The size of the Beijing hall is a total of 600, most of them are adjacent to each other, located in the southeast of Tai'an City, every time the imperial examination, it is very lively, people are not romantic, this large area of the hall area has all the food and color, the restaurant and the green building are as many as a cow's hair, originally went to the examination of the scholars and worried about the unfamiliarity of the people, the local voice was spurned by the local people in the capital, entered the Tai'an City, lived in the hall, only to find that the surroundings are all hometown people, no money is also happy, the family background is slightly better, there is money in the pocket, but also want to spend a lot of money to have fun, I really think that these children are stupid people who are rich, naturally not, they are qualified to enter Beijing to catch the exam, most of them are studying hard in the cold window, but they have not pierced the last layer of window paper, once they jump over the dragon gate, they will always remember that when they are shabby, others only have a few pennies a big cake, or a full meal of a few taels of silver, he is soaring day by day, as long as he can, how can he not be happy to support a fellow villager who has been kind to himself back then, so this piece is known as the fish and dragon piece of the hall area, almost all the business of the store is particularly good compared to other markets, Moreover, many outsiders who have already been in power in the capital also like to come here every other day to call friends and friends to get together to cheer up the descendants of their fellow villagers or give face-to-face lectures.
This scene is just a small microcosm of the struggle between the four parties of the Liyang Dynasty, but unfortunately, as one of the dead parties, the Qingzhou Scholars, who were rich in previous years, became a rootless lonely ghost, and their voices became smaller and smaller in the area of the fish and dragon.
The White Lion Building was not originally called this name, called Tianxiang Building, the business was mediocre at that time, this year the financial resources have been extensive, it is considered to have made a full profit, thanks to the fact that last year, the leader of the Qinglou, Li Baishi, sent a large hook column nearby, this big beauty does not need to say much, it is the only Ji girl on the rouge evaluation, for the men in the capital, this alone is enough.
Li Baishi is known as the sound and color of the double armor, the reputation is excellent, when several popular celebrities and Qing officials have been funded by her, she is also the official eunuch of Dongyue, and her own family background is very rendering, not only the White Lion Building, many restaurants nearby are stained with great light, overcrowded, are the rich sons and daughters who come to visit.
The White Lion House also has a few specialty dishes, made very spicy, for the taste of the heavy diners, it is undoubtedly a good place to feast on the taste of the diners, there is a group of guests today, the number is not much, only three people, but the net worth is different from the previous restaurant owner is still to give face, personally cook and serve, there is no other reason, the Zhao Gongzi who led the way will be a man, and the shopkeeper has known each other for many years, often farts and chats together, on the appetite.
The shopkeeper surnamed Lu is not reckless at all, not only cooking, but even serving the dishes himself, in addition to the incense accumulated with Zhao Gongzi for many years, there is also the two friends around Zhao Gongzi who do not look like laymen, one of them, a woman dressed as a man, the technique is immature, where can escape the fiery eyes of the Lu shopkeeper, at a glance, you know that it is a great lady, dare to love Brother Zhao to the daughter of the dignitary to see the eyes Hey, this is a good thing, if you can drink a few glasses of wine in the future, see the big people in the capital, it will be better.
As for the other white-faced and beardless man, the shopkeeper Lu didn't dare to take a second look, wearing a strange satin that could not be said to be exquisitely handmade, and the rich people's outfits he had seen in the past, once compared, seemed to have become the petty style of the rich man.
After Zhao Gongzi sat down in the private room that was separated from each other, he smiled at the poorly disguised woman and asked, "My eldest prince of Sui, how is this place?"
She snorted coldly, "Extremely shabby" Zhao Gongzi was not surprised by this answer, and said with a smile: "The dishes made are not good-looking, just one characteristic, spicy."
But don't you always say that you can eat spicy food, and don't drink a sip of water when you have the ability. ” She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm thirsty and can't drink water, Zhao Kai, what can you do with me?"
The young man known as Zhao Kai leaned on the back of the chair and stretched out his thumb, "Princess Sui Zhu is really temperamental, admire and admire." ” The woman's willow eyebrows were upside down, she slapped the table, and said angrily: "The surname is Zhao, call me Sui Gongzi" Zhao Kai said helplessly: "Yes, who made you my sister."
The eldest prince of Sui is the eldest prince of Sui. ” The woman didn't know whether she was angry or sincere, and said very hurtfully: "Anyway, I don't think you are my brother, how do you think it's your business." ” Zhao Kai's face was sad, the woman made matters worse, and sneered: "Still pretending to be with me" Zhao Kai didn't care, laughed, but was very happy.
The man, who was the most like an official among the three, stood with his hands tied and respectful.
Watching two young men and women bickering, their faces expressionless.
Zhao Kai turned his head and said with a smile: "Master, come and sit, this is not a palace with strict rules, let's come here comfortably." ” The man near his chest shook his head with two strands of white hair hanging down and said, "Our family is very comfortable without kneeling." ” This is a homonym, it has always been the eunuchs of this dynasty who claim to be self-proclaimed, and it has to be those eunuchs with some status and power to have this qualification and courage.
However, since the young man is Zhao Kai, the illegitimate son of today's son, and the woman is the princess of Sui Zhu, who is spoiled by His Majesty the Emperor, the identity of the eunuch who was called the master by Zhao Kai is also revealed, the first eunuch of the dynasty, Han Mink Temple.
This old eunuch who can't be called a man, nicknamed the human cat, if he hadn't been the Dinghai Divine Needle in the palace and obstructed it again and again, Cao Changqing of Xichu would have taken off the emperor's head long ago.
Being able to put one of the four great masters of the previous generation of Jianghu leaders into the red armor and skin it alive, the finger realm of Han Mink Temple is too mysterious.
Such a damn eunuch who is afraid of all courtiers, every time the shopkeeper knocks on the door and serves the food, he has to say a confession, and then taste it first, so that the two little masters can get off the chopsticks.
After eating only two dishes, Princess Sui Zhu suddenly put down her chopsticks and said sullenly: "What's the difference between eating like this and being in the palace, Zhao Kai, let's go downstairs to pick a lively table."
Zhao Kai smiled: "Listen to you."
Master, the words of the eldest prince of Sui are the most effective today, we all listen to her, okay?"
The corners of Han Mink's mouth tugged at the corners of his mouth and nodded slightly.
The human cat did not make fun of Princess Sui Zhu's childlike nature, but was grateful for the gift of the little master who deliberately arranged for him to sit at the same table.
In this world, you are good to him but don't think about good people, Han Diao Temple has seen too much.
When Han Mink Temple was just an ordinary eunuch, he traveled with the big master Weifu and met the woman with a humble status, and she also invited him to sit down and eat with him so sincerely, even if he knew his eunuch identity, as always, those coarse dishes and light meals, Han Mink Temple will remember it for a lifetime.
If someone respects me Han Shengxuan by an inch, I will respect him by a hundred zhang.
If someone deceives me, Han Shengxuan for a while, I will deceive him for a lifetime.
I don't know how many civil officials and military generals who were abused and killed by this human cat Manchu had to be glad that there was no afterlife to suffer again before they died.
Since it is a fish and dragon piece, of course, the White Lion Building is mixed, there are scholars and scholars, there are also wealthy gentry and rich families, and there are some scoundrels who live in the Qinglou as thugs, and the shopkeeper Lu has no objection to changing the table, and the rich are not very happy how to act.
The business of the restaurant is good, and it is a point to eat, the shopkeeper finally vacated an empty table, let the guy Malier clean up, Zhao Kai and the three sat down, and heard a man at the next table with his chest barefoot on the bench, clasped his teeth and scolded: "Fuck, a few days ago, we came to the storm with a little white face of a woman, and there was no silver in his pocket to pretend to be an uncle, so he took a few bullshit articles to fool, poems are not like poems, words are not like words, listening to the noise, Lao Tzu is going to use a stick on the spot to clean up this little bastard who owes his itchy mouth." ” At the same table is a few foreigners who are not too rich, and they have been in the Qinglou called Dingfeng Bo for a long time, and the scholars who are responsible for taking the lead in digging out the money are getting more and more deflated, and the prices of the sisters and sisters are high, thinking that it is not a matter for a long time, so I wonder if I can have a good relationship with the head of the nursing home in front of me, not to mention the extravagant hope that the price will be reduced, after entering the yard and before going to bed, I can also remove some unnecessary rewards.
The extra expenses on the maid slave are added up bit by bit, and the amount of broken silver is also terrifying.
A scholar with an old-fashioned face who did not look like a clever man hesitated for a moment, and said without opening his mind: "I have heard of this person, he has recited three words, and now he knows all the fish and dragon pieces, and they are all good. ” The face of the strong man in the nursing home changed greatly, and he snorted mercilessly, got up and was about to leave, the leading scholar was sophisticated, so he pulled back his seat after saying it, and said: "No matter how well the words are written, they are just small paths, and Xu Weixiong, a poet of Shangyin Xuegong, also said that the words are just poems, and most of the contemporary literary lyricists are only in the pile of old papers of the predecessors, and they cannot be called true talents and real learning, let alone self-reliance."
If you want me to come and see, what kind of liver and gallbladder ice and snow, if it is really ice and snow, I will go to the Qinglou and shout that this is not still a gimmick of inferiority, and in terms of character, it is far less upright and bold than Hong Jiaotou."
The strong man liked to listen to this, and took a bite of the fat and spicy chicken leg, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a young man who looked like a boy on the table nearby, and glared: "You kid laughs."
Zhao Kai said with a sincere face: "The strong man is right, those scholars who sell their fame and reputation should be beaten." ” The man saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, not like he was ironic, so he smiled and said: "You kid is very upright, one day you will go to fix the storm, report my name of Hong Sanlong, and the girls' prices will be fair."
Zhao Kai hugged his fists and thanked him.
Princess Sui Zhu lowered her head and rolled her eyes.
That man should have some power in this area, and after talking about more topics, the more he spoke, the more he spoke, he was very rough and harsh, "I have lived a hard life since I came out of my mother's womb, and you still want Lao Tzu to say good things for those rich children, whether they are good or bad, it is better than Lao Tzu's reincarnation, Lao Tzu can't wait to chop them to death, and I can't see them any better." ” "If those rich and noble children are diligent in studying and treating others well, then they will be even more damned, and they will not give us a way to live."
"Haha, Liu Gongzi, don't worry, the Sprinkle family is not talking about you, you kid is kind, and your shot is not ambiguous, it is good.
Since there will be fly droppings in a pot of porridge, there may also be a few grains of rice in a piece of. ” The gentleman surnamed Liu, who was slapped on the shoulder, smiled embarrassedly, and it was more uncomfortable to be praised than to be scolded.
Han Diao Temple squinted his eyes and said softly: "Shengdou people, they also dare to bring a dragon character." ” Zhao Kai, who was very familiar with the master, hurriedly smiled: "Ignore these little things."

Let's go, when the eldest prince of Sui has drunk enough tea and is no longer thirsty, he will go to see that Li Baishi. ” Princess Sui Zhu, who was so spicy, stepped on the back of Zhao Kai's shoes under the table, not forgetting to twist it fiercely.
Zhao Kai put on a bitter gourd face.
After settling the account and leaving the White Lion Tower, Zhao Kai cautiously reminded: "You must wait when you get there, don't be angry, since you are secretly out of the palace, you can't follow your temperament, otherwise you can hang a sign on your body and say that you are Her Royal Highness the Princess." ” Princess Sui Zhu said angrily: "Why wouldn't it be more useful for you to hang a prince's brand?"
Zhao Kai chuckled with a hippie smile: "There are a few people outside the palace who know that I am such a prince, and it is useless to say that I have a broken mouth." ” She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and said, "You can still laugh." ” Zhao Kai clasped his hands behind his head and walked on the street, "Master said that standing is better than kneeling, and he won't think about sitting, this is contentment."
Then I think it's better to be able to smile than to cry your nose, and it's less annoying, isn't it?"
She hesitated for a moment, "Then you were robbed of a few runes by Xu Fengnian, do you laugh or cry?"
Zhao Kai smiled: "Anyway, it's my brother-in-law, a family, it's the same for whoever leaves things there." ” She sneered: "You brother-in-law and brother-in-law, in the end, you still have to kill and kill, it's so fun, it's hard for me to cry." ” Zhao Kai suddenly said: "Beiliang is going to be chaotic over there." ” Princess Sui Zhu's words were even more sarcastic, "Anyway, that guy has no interest when His Royal Highness is the prince, and it is very embarrassing to practice the knife later."
Bei Liang really wants to mess up, so he will only hide.
Hmph, it's worse than you. ” Zhao Kai sighed and said, "It's good not to have a sentence at the end." ” She said seemingly casually: "Father is more satisfied with the Red Sect Female Bodhisattva you introduced into the court.
I'm very interested in the dispute between the red and yellow over there, as well as the idea that you proposed to sign the living Buddha in a silver bottle, and I may let you go to the Western Regions with her in the future. ” Zhao Kai also let out a casual sigh.
Xu Fengnian and Helian Wuwei have gone to a lot of places, except for the military aircraft major events that have not been mixed, whether it is a major event involving people's livelihood or a trivial matter, there are bystanders, and even some military and political approvals, the old people don't mind Xu Fengnian reading it, five days of running down, Xu Fengnian has a rough understanding of the outline of Xihe Prefecture, a year old and a young man are finally busy today, go to the post road near the place where the two first meet to sell watermelons, Xu Fengnian does not hide, when he sits on a small bench and waits for customers, he said directly:" From the uncle's side to the speed of the news transmission of the Nagarjuna monk in the Tao Te Sect, it can be seen that Beimang's attention to the post road is not lost to Xu Xiao, who single-handedly built the post road system in the Spring and Autumn Period, especially the eastern line where Xihe Prefecture is located, which is completely comparable to the western line where Liang Mang confronted.
Along the way, I saw a lot of inconspicuous little things, but in fact, Beimang was slowly accumulating military strength. ” Helian Wuwei smiled with relief: "Seeing the subtle knowledge, it's not bad." ” Turning his head, he saw Xu Fengnian's solemn face, handed over half a watermelon with a festival order, and said with a light smile: "In fact, a court, even if it is the few who died in the Spring and Autumn Period, there must be many far-sighted and intelligent people, but whether it can reach the heavens to make the dragon face happy, and let those laws that contain ambition or ambition be implemented smoothly is the crux of the difficulty."
You are from the pillars of the Yang Dynasty, especially with Zhang Julu in the middle of the dispatch, the temple is congenitally superior, to speak from the heart, I, who was born in the army, holds the festival order, and every time I think of it, I am like you now, and I am worried.
In terms of combat power and armament, the armor of the twelve generals is not weak, but compared to the Northern Liang Army, even if it is Tuoba Bodhisattva, he has no face to say that he is invincible in the world.
Fortunately, Beimang was ashamed and brave, and after suffering a lot, he knew that the men in the south were not all powerless scholars, and there would be butchers like Xu Xiao and Gu Jiantang who killed people without blinking.
Over the years, Beimang has been slowly getting stronger.
Let's go here, my old man thinks about it, and I feel a little regretful, Feng Nian, can you guess it?"
Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "Many Spring and Autumn scholars who fled to Beimang are qualified to give advice to the festival order or the general, but there is still one less super-first-class strategist who can be the emperor's master. ” Helian Wuwei took a bite of watermelon, raised his head and glared: "Don't be busy laughing, you kid, it's not that Beimang doesn't have it, it's just that he hasn't walked to the front of the stage yet." ” Xu Fengnian lowered his voice and asked, "Li Mibi who weaves spider webs" Helian Wuwei spat on the ground with his head sideways, and sneered: "This old dog is the best in the world in harming people, and he is 108,000 miles away from governing the country.
That is, Old Man Li is self-aware, and he didn't mess with the government, otherwise I would have to fight with him. ” Xu Fengnian was curious: "It's not him, who can it be?"
Helian Wuwei said vaguely: "It's the lord of the Chess and Sword Mansion, and he has been missing for almost twenty years.
When he was middle-aged, he was despised by Her Majesty the Empress, and disappeared completely in a fit of anger.
I guess you left Yang, as for what to do, there is no way to know, I guess even our majesty does not know.
I don't believe such a person would die quietly in the south. ” Xu Fengnian sighed, "I heard my master Li Yishan say that this guy is very strong in chess, and he can almost be on par with Huang Longshi." ” The old man sighed with emotion: "I have seen many ambitious and talented people in my life, but this master of chess and sword music is the only one with a big heart and a big talent."
Qifu has a practice method that falls millions of times in his life, do you know how many pieces that guy has fallen?"
Xu Fengnian was surprised: "It's impossible to reach 10 million, then you can't be born to play chess in front of the chessboard, this kind of chess idiot will not have a big future, my master often says that playing chess on the chessboard is just dead chess, playing chess to become a first-class national player, it's not a big deal, it's not the same thing as being a person." ” The old man laughed heartily, "You kid is smart but he was mistaken by being smart, that guy has very few chessboards, only a handful, and it is estimated that there are less than seven or eight thousand pieces." ” Xu Fengnian frowned and said: "There are less than a hundred games to be played, and the master of the Chess Mansion of the dignified Chess Sword Le Mansion is like gambling with the next game of chess."
The old man said slowly: "Do you know what this person's last game of chess was, after he lost to Huang Sanjia, he studied in retreat, and when he became a master of chess, he played against the old mansion master, a game of life and death, whoever loses will die." ” Xu Fengnian sighed: "The two mansion masters are both ruthless people. ” Helian Wuwei gloated and smiled: "You just beg this kind of person not to return to Beimang alive, otherwise if you become the king of Beiliang hereditarily, if this guy is still alive, some of you will suffer." ” Xu Fengnian said seriously: "Ming'er will go to Leiming Temple and curse this old man to death." ” Helian Wuwei laughed and said, "Then remember to curse me to death."
With me in Xihe Prefecture, Xu Xiao has to be a little scared. ” Xu Fengnian didn't have to be polite with this old man, and joked: "Uncle Helian, you are thicker than me." ” Helian Wuwei nodded and said: "People, as long as you are old, you will be the same as me scolding Li Mibi for being a chicken thief, in fact, I am also scolding myself, I have rough skin and thick meat, I am afraid of death and greedy for life, but for life and death, I am not as open as when I was young." ” Xu Fengnian took a bite of the watermelon and thought of Xu Xiao and Master Li Yishan, who were younger than Helian Wuwei.
Helian Wuwei said slowly: "I've seen the political affairs of Benzhou, and some things are easy to tell you directly, other generals and festival orders, I can't say it, but as far as I'm Helian Wuwei, I never expect that the officials under the leadership of the generals are all saints, it's okay to be greedy for money, don't be too much, pedantic officials who earn their own prestige, in my opinion, it's better to fill their own pockets but can benefit one party."
Don't cross the bottom line of Lei Chi, I think I'm very good at talking, it's over, that's right, it doesn't matter if you are an old man, my relative or confidant, kill what should be killed, and copy the family, never be soft.
This is called no rules, no circle.
How to recognize people is a difficulty, how to use people is a difficulty, how to make talents use their own use is even more difficult, is a university question, sages and sages can't go to school books, because readers cherish reputation, don't have the courage to write those cities and mansions are black and learned, and most scholars, also have no ability to write.
You go and count the champions of your Liyang Dynasty, except for Zhang Julu, how many of them can be first- and second-grade officials, but they are those ordinary Jinshi, who can go up even more. ” Xu Fengnian hummed and silently remembered it in his heart.
Helian Wuwei said: "When the lord of the mansion was young, he had a nine questions, asking the sky, asking the earth, asking the ghosts and gods, asking the emperor, asking the Buddha, asking the beauty, asking the previous life, and asking the next life. ” Xu Fengnian wondered: "There is one less question." ” Helian Wuwei said with a smile: "It is said that it is nine questions, but in fact there are only eight questions, it is estimated that that guy asked himself instead of us stupid people who have doubts." ” Xu Fengnian laughed angrily: "This old man is really scheming, I have to go to Leiming Temple immediately." ” While talking, a thirsty guest stepped forward, Xu Fengnian hurriedly got up, and helped the old man sell watermelons with a river in his mouth.
The guest didn't know who the young man he was bargaining with was, and he didn't know that the old peasant would be the state keeper.
Xu Fengnian also didn't know that there were two iron horses from Bei Liang who raided Bei Mang with thunder.
I didn't know that the Empress Beimang, who had learned about the military situation, dispelled the idea of driving to the Southern Dynasty because she appeared alone.
This old Confucian who entered the palace with a book-bearing box was followed by the first person in Beimang's swordsmanship, and his sword qi was close.
To be continued:
