Chapter 118: To live a long time is to have self-confidence

Soon, Zhu Houcong took Bai Qingxue to the place where he came two days ago.

The snow in the sky has stopped, and Qianmen Street is still lively and extremely clean.

"Hey, have you heard that Chunxiang Tower was ransacked, and the Madam Turtle was arrested, and many people were implicated."

"Ah, when did it happen? I was caught by my mother-in-law yesterday and had no time to go out. Why did it suddenly disappear?"

"Regarding what happened yesterday, a lot of people were arrested, and many big shots were arrested. It turned out that the person behind Chunxiang Tower was Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was immediately arrested. The people in Dongchang didn't listen to his sophistry at all.

, and took it away directly.”

"Ah? Who did you offend, making such a big noise?"

"Hush, don't say it."

"I understand, I understand, but what about the girl from Chunxiang Tower?"

"Hey, everyone has regained their freedom. Those who are willing to leave are let go, and those who are not willing to go to other buildings. If you want to patronize business, it is not impossible. I know that the oiran from Chunxiang Tower has arrived at Tianxiang Tower.

Brother Li?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go..."

Bai Qingxue blinked. The name Chunxiang Tower looked so familiar. She looked at the little boy behind her.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Did you ask someone to do it?"

"How could it be me? What did I do to me?" Zhu Houcong subconsciously denied it. No matter what it was, it was always right to refuse it first.

"I believe you are the only one who has ghosts. Come on, let's go there and have a look. It looks delicious." Although he said this, the little guy seemed very happy.

Only then did Zhu Houcong realize that there was nothing he couldn't agree to, but seeing the little girl so happy, he didn't say much, just like that, just be happy.

After saying such a big thing, it was quite strange that Yang Tinghe didn't come to him to trouble him, but it would be better if he didn't come to her to calm down for a while, otherwise, it would be really hard to talk to this guy, and how could he still talk to me?

For women?

This is not good, and it is also easy to be plotted by others. Now I and them are in a relatively balanced state, and there is nothing to worry about. I am good to you, and everyone is good.

Zhu Houcong and the others basically spent the whole afternoon eating and drinking, and the little girl was very happy with her meal.

Zhu Houcong didn't eat much. He wasn't very interested in the food. He was planning where to go in the evening. Mainly because he didn't pay attention to this before, but now he suddenly said he wanted to visit a brothel, and he didn't know where to go for a while.

.

"I've been shopping here for a long time. You promised to take me to a fun place before. Where is it?" Although I was very happy, I was still full of yearning for the fun place Zhu Houcong mentioned. What place is it?

How fun it is, I’m looking forward to it.

"Don't worry, it's still early. That place won't open until dark. It's interesting at night. Don't worry, I promised you, I will definitely take you there." Zhu Houcong smiled, at this time

Everyone should be sleeping, and work should start at night.

"Where is it? It's so mysterious. Just tell me, okay?" Bai Qingxue started to panic while holding Zhu Houcong's hand. She was really anxious.

"I found out in the evening. It won't be fun to say it now." Zhu Houcong was unmoved.

"Tch, then I want to eat stinky tofu." Bai Qingxue curled her lips.

"Yes, yes, eat." Zhu Houcong touched his chin and said that he didn't know where he should go or how to get there. Would he be slaughtered if he did this?

It's okay to spend money in entertainment venues, but it's not good to be taken as a victim.

Bai Qingxue's appearance as a man dressed as a woman is really amazing, and Zhu Houcong himself is also a young lady, so the two of them travel somewhat ostentatiously.

Fortunately, everyone was quite restrained. At most, they just kept their gazes a little longer, but everything else was fine.

Zhu Houcong touched his chin and was thinking about how to avoid being taken advantage of. When he turned around, he saw an acquaintance and his eyes suddenly lit up. This is not coming.

Zhu Houcong directly grabbed Bai Qingxue and rushed forward. If it was too late, he would have run away.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The little girl was eating stinky tofu. This stuff smelled bad, but tasted delicious. But before she could even get it into her mouth, she was dragged away and the tofu was scattered all over the floor.

"Where did you come from, little baby, why don't you leave quickly?" The guard saw Zhu Houcong rushing over, his sword was unsheathed, and Wang Haoze looked directly at Zhu Houcong.

Yan Song was also startled, but when he saw Zhu Houcong's smiling face, he was immediately frightened.

"Your Majesty..."

"Shh~" Zhu Houcong gave him a silent gesture. In such a big city like Beijing, he could meet this person. Isn't this fate?

"Ahem, you guys go down first. This is my friend, my friend's child." Looking at Zhu Houcong's height, Yan Song paused for a moment. What a fine person he is. Looking at His Majesty's appearance, he knew that he had sneaked out.

But you can't reveal your secret.

The one at the back should be Miss Qingxue disguised as a man. With His Majesty’s eyes, even men’s clothing cannot hide this peerless elegance.

Of course, he only dared to take a sneak look. After all, this might be the future queen. Even if she wasn't, as long as she gained His Majesty's favor, she would be almost the same as the queen.

Zhu Houcong nodded with satisfaction. This guy was smart, so the person who led the way came. Zhu Houcong didn't believe that this guy had never been to Fengyue Place.

"Where are Master Yan planning to go?" Zhu Houcong looked at Yan Song with a smile.

"Ahem, minister, no, no, no, I have something to do when I go to Tianxiang Tower. I wonder where Mr. Zhu is going?" Yan Song coughed lightly, his heart was trembling, and he didn't know if he was unlucky or lucky.

How can I still meet the emperor when I go out?

"What a coincidence, we are also going to Tianxiang Tower, let's go together." Isn't this a coincidence? I didn't know where we were going at first, but it just happened that someone was leading the way. Someone might even have paid for the expenses, and it wasn't him.

Yan Song was forced to go because he wanted to go on his own, so he just went along with it.

"Ahem, your Majesty... what is Master Zhu going to do in Tianxiang Tower? There..." How can he not know where Tianxiang Tower is? What is your Majesty going to do there? Just go and take a girl with you.

This, this, this...

"If you want to take care of it, just say whether you want to go or not." Zhu Houcong squinted his eyes and said, "If you don't want to go, you have to go if you meet me."

"Go, go, of course, Mr. Zhu, please." Yan Song's answer was as firm as iron. Your Majesty, you can go wherever you want, what else can you do.

Yan gave a scary look, wanting someone to go ahead and inform the people in the building, at least not to let anything too dirty contaminate His Majesty's eyes.

"Why are you so careless? No one here wants to leave. Hurry up. I haven't been there yet. Go and see it." How can you hide that little trick from Zhu Houcong? Just dream, today's Tianxiang Tower

He went to make a reservation.

Yan Song also accepted his fate, okay, okay, just go. Maybe His Majesty is just curious.

"Where are we going?" Bai Qingxue blinked her eyes, looking so mysterious. The bad guy emperor didn't say anything, so anxious.

"You'd know it if you went there. I guarantee you've never been there." Zhu Houcong raised his eyebrows, with a tone and expression that sounded like he was kidnapping a child.

The corner of Yan Song's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Good guy, people don't know about their feelings. They were deceived by His Majesty, right? Poor child, this can only be attributed to His Majesty's bad taste. I've long heard that Bi Ai likes to play, but I didn't expect it.

I don't know what His Majesty thinks about taking his own woman to visit a brothel if he likes it so much.

Of course, Tianxiang Tower is definitely not a place for pure love. It has many functions. Others don't know it, but he, the boss, always knows it.

That's right, he is the boss behind Tianxianglou. The main task of this romantic place is to provide him with some information. After all, some arty people still like to visit these places. Some people don't know their last names after three cups of cats pee.

What, this is a good place to get information.

Of course, we will also train some beautiful women individually. They are usually simple men, who pay attention to the relationship between you and me, and mainly target some high-end customers.

After all, Yan Song's original intention was to get some information from the mouths of certain officials, so of course he couldn't make the scene too tacky.

Moreover, the venue has been opened and its own expenses have been incurred, all with His Majesty's tacit approval.

He is responsible for anti-corruption. If he knows and breaks the law, wouldn't it be a slap in His Majesty's face? He loves money, but he loves power even more. If someone reports him, His Majesty will probably drag him down with a thousand cuts.

Totally torn to pieces.

His Majesty doesn't seem to care much about anything now, but he knows intuitively that His Majesty must be more than just a sweet date as shown.

The ministers had suffered such a big loss, so that was all they suffered. There was not much backlash. His Majesty had not spoken much in the past six months, which made the tense nerves of the ministers begin to relax.

But he knew that His Majesty's money did not rust there, but was spent a lot. Where did all the money go?

Jin Yiwei receives a large sum of money every month, but as for the money, Jin Yiwei itself has disappeared from people's sight for a long time.

It was not taken seriously before, because the late emperor did not take it seriously, but His Majesty attaches great importance to it. What did the Jinyiwei people and the money do?

Furthermore, the commander of the Jinyi Guards is Yang Shen, Yang Tinghe's biological son. Your Majesty, Yang Ting and this old fox definitely have their own tacit understanding in some aspects, otherwise how could Yang Tinghe be so quiet.

These are just Yan Song's conjectures, but he thinks they should be inseparable. Even without these, he has no choice. He has been labeled as the emperor. Now he wants to change his camp. I don't know whether the ministers will believe it.

, Your Majesty, how can you pass that test? Isn’t this looking for death?

One road is the avenue to heaven, and the other is the abyss of hell. Even fools know how to choose.

"It's not dark yet, should the door open?" It's still early, but the day is short in nature, and it will probably get dark soon.

"It's open. Mr. Zhu, don't worry. Tianxiang Tower is not a clichéd place. Most of the people inside are ordinary people, mainly those who perform talents. Of course, if the girl is willing, she can." Yan Song was very happy.

It wasn't the guy from Tianxiang Tower who offended His Majesty and Miss Qingxue, otherwise he might be in jail now.

After His Majesty leaves, he must teach them well. His Majesty is here just now, and he wants them to take a closer look. If he offends Tianyan, he will certainly be unlucky, but before he is unlucky, he must make them even more unlucky. His Yan Song's methods

But it's not necessarily weaker than Gu Dayong.

"Oh? Why are you so familiar? Do you go there often? I'm not telling you. If you have a wife and children, you have to calm down a little. It's not that men can't go out to spend money, but they also have to take care of the family a little." Zhu Houcong said this.

It's heartbreaking words.

No matter in the past or now, what he always believes is not to take out your heart easily. People's hearts are small and can't let go of too many people, and some things are really boring. He thinks that something more beautiful and exciting should be

A kind of spiritual level handover.

Physical communication may only be a medium to promote spiritual communication. If there is only desire without deep love, it really doesn't mean much.

Besides, can men really endure this? It has to be said that most emperors in ancient times died early for a reason.

Zhu Houcong also didn't understand that while he was trying to replenish himself, his body was obviously very weak. He had three wives and four concubines at home, and he still had to go out to find food. This is really incomprehensible. Do you really want to die?

Zhu Houcong does not expect Yan Song to become a dedicated person. Throughout the ages, women have always relied on the strong, and this has always been the case. With Yan Song's current status, it is no big deal to have a hobby of her own, but everything has a degree.

You have to be restrained, this guy is not young anymore, and I want to use it for two more years.

"My own body still knows what Mr. Zhu said. Even if my heart is moved, sometimes I am unable to do what I want. I am the one who runs Tianxiang Tower. I usually provide some information and earn some money on the way." Yan Song smiled slightly,

He had no intention of hiding it at all.

It is impossible to talk about this topic with His Majesty at ordinary times, and it is naturally difficult to talk about it. Now that His Majesty has asked, it is natural to say it. Now, even if His Majesty is dissatisfied, it is not a big deal.

Just open it, but if you choose to hide it now and wait for His Majesty to find out, it will be a big deal. He can still figure out which is more important.

"Hey, good guy, I didn't expect you to have such a mind. That kind of place is indeed a good place to obtain information, not bad." Zhu Houcong was not angry, and there was no need to be angry. Isn't this a normal thing? At least Yan Song

It is still a side business developed with one's own brains. If it involves corruption and bribery, the nature will be different.

However, there are limits to Zhu Houcong's indulgence in this kind of thing. You can do business and make money. You are such a big official and you are not allowed to take bribes. There are so many salary and salary combinations that it is unrealistic not to let you do anything. That's not to say that

There were no honest officials, it could only be said that they were very few. Zhu Houcong could not expect these people to manage such a large country.

As long as you can make money within a certain limit like Yan Song, you can use your identity to seek some personal gain. After all, who doesn't have a family? But going too far is not good.

Hearing what His Majesty said, Yan Song knew that His Majesty didn't take it to heart at all. This also proved that his guess was right. His Majesty has a heart for the world and has a certain tolerance for everything, and this tolerance is based on personal ability.

Depends.

As long as you show your abilities and can do things for His Majesty, even if you go too far, Your Majesty will not say anything. And His Majesty will never tolerate those worthless people. Even if you are a waste, you still like to be a monster.

, don’t you know that the first bird is shot with a gun?

Your Majesty may tolerate him opening a place for romance, and doing it for a reason, and he may do some more extreme things, but this is tantamount to destroying the city wall, and Yan Song would not do that anyway.

Thinking according to this idea, Yang Tinghe is also the same. Even if he doesn't deal with His Majesty very much, as long as he has the ability, Your Majesty will always use him. If you want to pull him down, you have to show your worth.

Yan Song squinted his eyes and kept thinking about his future. He didn't think that he was weaker than Yang Tinghe. Ability was one thing, and loyalty was also a bonus. He didn't need to be better than him, as long as he could do what he did.

It is also said that Yan Song really guessed Zhu Houcong's thoughts. Zhu Houcong was not so frivolous. As long as you are under his control, you can escape a little and be rebellious, there is no problem at all, as long as you are a promising person.

My child, if you can’t be naughty and have no future, then why should you keep it?

Of course, the premise is that he has such confidence that he can control everything.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang kill batch after batch of heroes and generals? He didn’t want to leave a stable empire for his son. After his son died, he wanted to leave it to his grandson, so he had to kill him. If he didn’t kill his grandson, he couldn’t control him at all.

.

But in essence, Zhu Yuanzhang may not be too sad because Zhu Di rebelled against his nephew. No matter what, the country is still hurt by his Zhu family. As long as the country is stable, anyone can be the emperor.

He left his kingdom to his grandson, which was also a test for him. It's just a pity that his grandson failed to live up to his expectations. Either he should be gentler and leave room for his uncles even if he cuts off the vassal, or he should be more ruthless and beat him directly.

To die, don't make it half-dead. If you are not ruthless enough, you will play a good hand of cards to pieces.

Going a step further, Zhu Houcong's natural advantage is that he is sure that he will definitely live longer than these guys. Even if he gives a huge reward now, he can still control it. After they leave, all the glory will be over. If he then

If his descendants still can't control the situation, it's better to let him go like Zhu Yunwen, which will be embarrassing.

All indulgences stem from Zhu Houcong's self-confidence. If he was not in good health, Zhu Houcong would not dare to play like this. He should be beaten and monitored, but it is completely unnecessary now. He has this self-confidence.

"Thank you Mr. Zhu for your compliments. After all, Yan is eating this bowl of rice, so he must serve it well, and he will not let the Tian family down." If you don't show your loyalty now, when will you show your loyalty? This time when we meet,

It should be his gift.

To be honest, although His Majesty trusts him, there is still some distance between the monarch and his ministers, and there are not many opportunities for communication. If it is just like this, even becoming a minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the future, that is enough, but he has a higher pursuit, then

It will be different.

It is necessary to get close to His Majesty and understand his favorite thoughts. Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"Hey, you, what are you talking about? We are not going to that kind of place, are we?" Bai Gengxue is not stupid. She knows a lot about people who live in leisure and debauchery.

"That's right, it's the place you want, but I haven't been there either. I'll take you to see it." Zhu Houcong gave her an affirmative answer and nodded at Yan Song with satisfaction. Sure enough, he can stay.

Those who are famous in history are not simple people. Maybe Yan Song's reputation is not good, but his ability is definitely no problem.

But there is nothing that is not famous. It’s not all written by those guys. It’s hard to say how much is true and how false. He believes in his own judgment more. If this trend continues, his reputation will not be good.

But do they dare? Who dared to write randomly when he was alive?

If anyone dares to arrange themselves, don't blame him for giving him a gift package of genocide.

After several generations have endured this, future generations will only have his achievements.

So reputation doesn't matter, as long as it's useful for his subordinates, why is he reluctant to replace Yang Tinghe? It's not because our old lady Yang Ge can handle things. Together with Lu Fang, we can manage the country in an orderly manner. He needs such a person.
